Ok, I am just over 3 months post-op and I am suddenly having some issues with food. I seem to be having problems with everything I eat, but only the first few bites. The first few bites of everything I eat seems to get stuck or come back up, I know I am supposed to do liquids for a day and then resume food, but after the stuck feeling goes away or it comes back up I can eat a normal banded portion. Most of the time the food seems to stick almost in my throat not anywhere near my stomach. I am drinking a protien smoothis right now and I am going to have Soup for dinner tonight. If this isn't better by lunch tomorrow I am calling my doctor. Oh and my whole family is sick right now. Maybe I am comming down with it too? Would that make all of this happen? My daughter has an ear infection and an upper respritory infection too. I am not too tight as I had my fill and then partial unfill over a month ago and all has been fine until now. I am on depo so it is not time for my monthly visitor, can't think of any other reason for these issuse. ~Mandy

I have this problem too. When I eat the first few bites are tricky. I have to go SUPER slow right at first so I don't get stuck, then everything seems to relax and I can continue eating. Maybe try sipping a little warm liquid right before eating (yes, I know we aren't supposed to drink before eating, but maybe just a tiny amount of warm liquid? ). For me, I just go real easy at first until it seems I can eat more easily.

Do call your doctor if you are concerned.

When I have this happen (and it pops up every so often for some reason), a cup of warm tea about five minutes before eating usually does the trick. It also seems to happen when I'm stressed...

Stress??? What's that?? :);):) My husband works on call 24/7 and I have a 4 year old that has trouble staying well, alleriges in the spring and summer and ear/upper respritory infections in the fall and winter. She also has food allergies. Things have been crazy around here lately, I didn't even think about the stress affecting my band, thanks, Parvathi, for reminding me that stress can be a factor. I am going to take a long hot bath and make myself some sugarfree hot chocolate. ~Mandy

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
