Recommended Posts

I just had my last adjustment on my band last week. It is the last because it is impossible to adjust anymore. I am having trouble with the the constant saliva build up in my mouth. I've had this for a while I really don't think is because of my last adjustment. Is pretty emberrasing eating in front of other people. Every time I take a bite I feel the build up and I have to run to the bathroom. How do you control it? Help

Sounds to me like you are too tight. You should call your doc and ask for his/her opinion.

Good luck!

Sounds like you're too tight. How big is your band and how many cc's are in it? Perhaps you've had restriction for quite awhile but missed the cues? :biggrin:

I think you're too tight. Call your doctor to discuss it.

You should never be in a position where you just constantly slime. It is not the way the band was meant to work. You definitely need to call the doc for a slight unfill. I got to that point a few weeks ago and had to go in for one. I didn't like doing it particularly over Christmas but I couldn't continue to pb and slime like I was with every bite. I waited two weeks afterward and just got a new fill last night with just a smidge less than last time and so far so good. Go get checked asap.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
