Easier to eat when relaxed?



Recommended Posts

Im am wondering if anyone else has this problem, my previous post got me some good advice on possibly needing a slight unfill, however I am question that at this point -

During the week, lunch break at work and dinner as soon as i get home dont go down well at all.. i end up stuck, pbing, hurting,, feeling horrible.. but i am off on saturdays and sunday, and home - I was able to eat a small sandwich on super duper thin bread toasted and had NO problem!!!

I am wondering if going out to eat and eating at work dont work work for me because I am stressed or rushed or self conscious.

It seems that if i have dinner 2-3 hours after getting home from work i am relaxed, can eat slower take my time and have no problem - fill after about 1/ cup of food ....

I found today - after a huge fight with DH that getting upset and worked up causes me great discomfort in the center of my chest and where the band is....

Anyone else notice this happening ?

I call my band my "stress ometer". When I am stressed to the max my band tightens. I am unfilled now. Maintaining my goal weight and will not get a fill until I feel my stress level will reduce.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
