I think I might have some restriction...



Recommended Posts

...but I'm not sure LOL

I had my second fill on Thursday and today is my first real day back on solids. Breakfast was an 8 ounce yogurt and Frigo cheese stick, lunch was a meatloaf lean cuisine (didn't have time to make anything today) -- had no problem with either meal.

For dinner I made about 1/2 cup of egg beaters with laughing cow cheese and toasted an arnold sandwich thin. I had about 3 bites of the sandwich, chewed thoroughly and took my time, and all of a sudden, I started sliming. Not like getting stuck though. Is this restriction? Is this what they mean by saying, "I know I shouldn't take another bite because I know what will happen"? I am hoping this is it, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for educating a banded fool who is 4 months out and still has no clue what being full feels like with the band :w00t:!!!

I'm still post-op full liquids and have worried about this "up-coming" challenge.

WHEN AM I FULL??

It will be a part of the process to learn what "full" feels like. Not knowing, or ignoring it, was what brought me to the band.

Your feeling of full will be different than before the band. Personally I get a slight pain in my chest and a feeling of needing to burp. A burp usually helps the chest pain. If I eat beyond this point, usually when I've eaten too fast, I vomit.

I have not had a fill yet, but I get the same pain in my chest and need to burp--I stop after that as well

      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?
