OK so I'm starting to worry...



Recommended Posts

:bored:I've had my band for a year now and haven't really had that many problems other than being super tight in the mornings. I've had a couple un-adjustments due to this tightness. Well the other day I weighed and I've gained several pounds so I decided it was time to tighten things back up. Day one of adjustment just clear liquids..it was all fine. Day two had clear and full liquids and then a little Soup at night. So today I had three bites of a frosty around lunch and have been PBing ever since. I don't feel the food in there any more but my mouth won't stop salivating and it is making me need continue to PB. I'm worrying about slippage and I know I'll probably end up in the DR office tomorrow doing a barium swallow. Anyone know what to do for now though?:smile2:

Since you just had a fill, it is much more likely it is too tight rather than it slipped. I have trouble keeping anything down when I first get a fill, but am fine in the next day or two.

I do better with hot or warm stuff than with cold or frozen. I would go with warm broth for a day then try again with something warm. Hope you feel better soon.

You are swollen for a few days up to two weeks after a fill. Just take it easy but if you can't get Water down, you need to go get some taken out 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.
