Anybody get discomfort in their throat when they eat?
Bonnie_Lass posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There's lots of stuff here about food getting stuck and causing pain in the chest, and about first bite syndrome, but does anyone else feel it in their throat? When I ate, I would start to get discomfort in my throat, and it got a little worse with each bite, or sometimes it took several bites before it started. Sometimes it would get really bad, and sometimes it didn't resolve until the food came up. It has lots of similarities to getting stuck that way. It happened mostly after the surgery (mild then), just after my first fill and since my second fill. My nurse and surgeons at the clinic I go to seem to find that I felt it in my throat to be a little odd. Anyway this week the surgeon thought best thing to try was taking a little of the fill out. It's been 2 days and I haven't had anything close to that issue. So, I was too restricted. Only trouble is now I can eat more than the recommended amount again (still less than before though so I could still lose weight). I'm thinking I'll just wait and see how the weight loss does go - I dread the thought of even a small fill right now. Just to be clear, I am still so happy I did this, and with the weight I have lost. -
I've been on BP medicine for a few years. My primary physician, who is wonderful and sees me every 3 months, said I could get as skinny as anything but still need it, since it is hereditary and runs in my family. Could be you're just predisposed to high BP.

Anybody get discomfort in their throat when they eat?
Lizabeth replied to Bonnie_Lass's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had my 4th fill this past week as well and I puked for the first time last night, tried to eat again and now I know I shouldn't have. lol But I can definately tell a difference with this last fill. I am hoping the same thing though, that it will get better. My band it just teaching me I guess. -
Woo hoo!!! I just got back from my post-op visit and I am down a total of 17.6 lbs.:banana I had lost only 5 lbs. pre-op:( 12.6 pounds seems like a lot to lose in a week, it makes me wonder if some of this will creep back on when I can eat solids again. Any thoughts?

How Long Until The Bloated Swollen Tummy Goes Down,
smallgirlsxthree replied to megannadine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My tummy was swollen for about 2 weeks too, but the pain I had in my right upper side lasted for almost a month. I guess that's the hole that they took my stomach out through?? That spot was all bruised and swollen for what seemed like forever, but it all goes away eventually. I had alot of bowel gas and bowel "issues", so I think that didn't help my bloated belly!! One day you'll wake up and be moving along and realize that you feel alot better, it's a nice surprise! Good luck! -
Hi does anybody have any recommendations for a scale that is very accurate I've never have a scale before and now I'm thinking it's time to get one because I have 2 weeks until my surgery. I don't need one with all the bells and whistles just one that's easy to read because my eyesight is not that good thank you.

Replacing the habit of overeating
fit4life123 replied to artblitz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love crocheting! I wish I had more time during the year to do it but I definitely make up for it in the summer. I can't wait to sew and knit again! Buying fabric will be so much cheaper since I won't need 3-4 yards! -
Welcome i just barely made it after a 5 week stall. Congrats

One more potluck and I'll scream! I'm 6 weeks post op and I get tired of eating with others. I'm not hungry for their food but I get lonely eating my shakes or taking baby bites in public. I keep getting sick when I eat with others. Any suggestions?

I tried hot and sour soup Friday and it burned a little in my chest. I'm going to try again in another couple weeks! My heartburn is really bad though. I hope once that subsides I will tolerate a bit more spicy:-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Even while you are stalled you may notice inches going. Keep to the plan and it will work.

Running, Size Changes, and Getting Adjusted
DivaStyleCoach commented on DivaStyleCoach's blog entry in Blog 46130
Hi arkansasbandster, Thank you so much for the compliment! I was a little leery of trying to run as well - I started the c25k at over 200 lbs - but by taking it slow, I was able to do it just fine. Don't be afraid to repeat a week if you need to, and make sure to get fitted for GOOD running shoes. Since you've said your joints do hurt, definately take it easy - I'd hate for an injury to sideline you for a while and slow down your progress. @jollygreen thank you! I was (and am) really excited that I finished the race. Think I'll try a 10k next spring, depending on how my training goes this winter...yep, I'm a little bit crazy! LOL -
Still Deciding - Can't lose pre-op weight
mspal replied to mspal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@recordsmom 5lbs! if i could lose 5lbs a week (like i used to be able to do) I would be pretty golden. good for you! the shakes you are drinking have 27 g carbs/3g Fiber each, mine have 5g carb/3 fiber and i do not eat any fruit whatsoever, i cannot. the wonderslim cake has 9g carbs, 3 g of fiber, and that (compared to nothing or only low carb things) prevents my FBS from jumping up by 10 points in the morning (it's usually at 120 and it won't go any lower). -
Almost 1 year out and need advice for more weight loss
Taylor06 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi all, I am almost 1 year out from my surgery date (I have lost 121 total pre-op and post op). I am going on vacation in 58 days (but who's counting) and I would like to lose another 15 pounds in that time. I don't think I can do it because I am losing much slower now. I do exercise 3-6 times a week (pretty intense workouts). I am wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions to help me get try to get to my goal before vacation. It's not my final goal I just want to be under 200 by the time I go on vacation. I thought I would be at my true goal now which is about another 55 pounds from where I am now. So I still have weight to lose, just very slow. Any thoughts? Thanks! -
I'm 18 days out and think I'm already in a stall. I'm getting upset and depressed over it. I keep saying I didn't go through all this just to loose 25 lbs. I still have at least 80 lbs to go. I end up weighing myself 5 to 6 times a day and am making myself crazy. I'm ready to through the scale out the front door. How do you get out of a stall??????

Mine were gone within a week.

Cinco De Mayo Bandsters Update Please
Bperkins replied to Parteetime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery May 5 also and my first fill last Wednesday. I lost 20 lbs per his scale, which I thought was good. His fill was only .5cc--that is all he will put in at a time. I might go in for another one in a week or so because I do feel it in the morning but not in the evening. The fill did hurt though--one of my co workers who has a lap band suggested that I ask the dr if he could use a smaller needle. Has anyone had to do that?? He had a hard time getting the saline into the port too, so he had to press down hard while it was filling, which was not comfortable. The dr did say that this is not unusual with first fills and that subsequent ones should be easier. I hope so. Anyway, I still am glad that I did this and look forward to the becoming the "new me"! :sad_smile: -
someone please help!
slinkymalinky replied to sirvine89's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it sounds like you are being banded in a really great place if they are going to that extent to do all the pre op testing first. So, I think you will be in good hands. I have my surgery on August 5th, and it can't happen fast enough for me. The liquid diet IS hard for the first 4 days or so. You WILL be hungry and maybe a bit miserable. But, if you weigh yourself often, you should notice some results on the scale, which will be an incentive. And after day 4 your tummy will just stop asking you for food. I was starving to begin with, and now that I'm at the end of the two weeks, I'm having trouble getting down three shakes a day. About your Mom....maybe you could show her some studies on obesity, or better yet, show her the documentary about it on PBS. I think maybe she just needs some more information. It's natural for people to think that you can do this by yourself, and that surgery is too drastic, but that fact is, most people can't do it by themselves. If you go to www.pbs.org and type in "obesity" you'll probably find the documentary. Take care, and I hope all goes well! -
HELP! HELP! Not doing well with weight loss..
Mrs Havelock replied to JewelJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You sound like you have an awful lot of pressure, be kind to yourself and don't worry about being hungry. Eat dense protein such as tuna and drink plenty (not at the same time!) and stay off the scale except for once a week. You'll drive yourself mad otherwise. -
Low blood pressure and heart rate
Lisa Collom replied to crazycatlady8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not only did I experience this, I passed out twice in one day. The second time I nearly drowned. The first time I broke my foot, sprained my back and sprained both knees. I'm still on crutches. I'm drinking more Water, using more salt and taking midodrine to keep my blood pressure steady. Please don't wait to get hurt like I did. Talk to your doc ASAP about coming up with a treatment plan. I had warning signs for weeks (and I've had very low blood pressure my entire life) and I got hurt badly because I ignored them. -
Is it normal to be sooo tired after surgery?
Bethanyblondie replied to LindaD's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on the 18th of May and went back to work on the 21st...I got up that morning and showered and I literally had to sit for 10-15 minutes just to get my energy back to blow dry my hair afterwards! Then just driving to work I was miserably tired. I came home that afternoon and slept for like, four hours. I think it's pretty normal to be completely exhausted for up to a good week or so after surgery. Your body isn't working great when all you've had for days is clear liquids! I had the same issue where I couldn't even see words clearly because I was so tired! -
Is it normal to be sooo tired after surgery?
Sarah.R replied to LindaD's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was tired until about day 3 then I was fine, then I started on mushies on the 26th and my energy has gone was down again. It's obviously because we're not getting enough nutrients and stuff. The latest I've been able to stay up is 11pm and even when I did stay up then before being banded I just went to bed cuz there was nothing to do, now it's out of exhaustion. Eventually it'll get better, I hear some people still don't feel fantastic up until the 3 month mark but hopefully that won't happen.
