So is this normal....

yesterday I went through the day with no trouble, even had a bit too much to eat at lunch if I'm honest and NO trouble what so ever. Was even thinking that maybe I'm due for a fill.

Today....Had my greek yogurt for Breakfast with no trouble. THEN ..I take 2 bites of my lunch and I'm STUCK....really stuck....painful ....sliming....PB'ing...YUCK.

So obviously I didnt chew those 2 bites well enough thats a given.....but it was nothing different than I ate last night at dinner. It was leftovers. I don't think I chewed any different last night.

Normal to have days where you can pretty much eat anything and then days where you are so tight???

I was banded june 1st. Had a few stuck moments but did ok. I had my first fill 7/22 1cc. I was surprised that I had 4.5 cc already in the band. Since the fill I have had several stuck moments on soft food that I did not have trouble with before and have vomited 4 times. Then I have days like today that have been good. So I am not sure what to expect but I know I do not like to be STUCK!! :blushing:

Leftovers often give problems. They are a different texture to when first cooked and are often a lot drier as well.

I find what I can eat at lunch is different than what I can eat for dinner. Lots of people find they can eat more later in the day but not so much early in the day. I cant eat breakfast until at least 10-10.30 (if at all). I pretty much keep to Soup for lunch, boring I know but easy.

I have had issues with leftovers and wondered why. Your statement makes perfect since! Thank you so much:redface:

I just finished blogging about this. I have never been stuck PB/Slime. But some days I'm tighter than others. Why?Why?Why?

I've never been stuck either but the thought of it is very scary. I'm certain with more fills it will become inevitable, but someone said on a thread the other day that pineapple juice works wonders. Keeping that in mind!

OK, what is PB'ing? I've seen that one a few times in threads...Same with 'DH'....

I just had my surgery 7/30, so I have not experienced 'stuck' yet. Not looking forward to it. My cousin's wife had something get stuck on a Friday night and could not eat or drink ANYTHING till she was 'unfilled' and flushed on Monday morning! WTF?! How do you not die?! OK, I'm being dramatic...somewhat! No Water for a couple of days?

What do people normally do in these situations? You just wait it out?

I think stuck is going to trigger anxiety for me. Normally, I take xanax for an anxiety attack. However melting it on my tongue would be HORRID, but if you can't drink/eat, then that's kinda the only option!

Kimmy, I read you went through True Results. I went through them too in Houston. How do you like the support there?

You have been getting those hiccup things too? Damn those are NOT comfy are they? They feel like a reverse burp or something to me!

Oh, yeah? Does he have a lap band as well? So many of the people who work at the office in Austin have also been through the procedure.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
