What Happened To Me?



Recommended Posts

Hello, First of all let me apologize for bothering you guys with such a dumb question, but you guys are the only people aside from my surgeon that can help me.

I'm scheduled for my much needed 2nd fill on the 27th of this month (wow! next week!) ... anyway, lately I have been very very hungry, so hungry that I have caught myself not waiting long enough between bites (i know, bad gabbi!) ....

Today I was eating some Mini Swiss cheese & Turkey Squares, right after my last bite I started getting pain on the pit of my stomach, followed by a painful feeling of something moving "through"....???.... i could of sworn i even heard it (im not crazy! lol) .....im sorry it's just so hard to explain. It went away after 5 minutes...i have never experienced this and for that reason im super paranoid that something happened to my band *cries*.... could this of been my very 1st stuck episode? I have also been taking Miralax for the past 3 days..could it of been my intestines? once again sorry for the dumb question....but any tips, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I have not experienced pain the pit of my stomach. My two "stuck" episodes came from eating baby carrots two fast/not chewing well enough. Pain towards the back. VERY uncomfortalbe. I had no fills at that point. Have eaten carrots after 3 fills.

Sounds like a stuck episode that worked it's way through the band...That happens to me and yes I can feel it Move Through as far as hearing it it was probably gas escaping when the obstruction passed...Good luck and just remember eat slow and chew well...

      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.
