Am I too tight???



Recommended Posts

I got my 3rd fill on wednesday it is now saturday. I haven't felt a restriction before this fill. I can eat mushy's and I was even able to eat a little bit of bread and crackers, but I can't drink because it gets stuck and I have to PB. Am I too tight? If I was too tight then how come I am able to get down the food but not liquid? I am finally able to feel some restriction and don't want to go get an unfill. Has anybody else had this problem? And if yes how and when did it go away? Or is it that I am still swollen from the fill? Thanks

Are you gulping or slowly sipping your liquid? I thoughtlessly gulped down Water today instead if slowly sipping it and was like a volcano erupting

PB'ing is productive burping but its like something productive coming up when you burp lol :D . When you eat something that gets stuck what happens is you burp but (i hate to sound gross) slime comes up with the burp. I helps with getting what ever you have stuck unstuck. It sounds gross but when you have that awful stuck feeling PB'ing is the best feeling. How long ago did you have your surgery? I had mine Nov 2010 so I am still kind of new at this myself. With my first fill I felt nothing and could eat everything as a matter of fact I gained some of the weight I had lost with pre-op diet. With my second fill I got alittle ristriciton but not much and didn't loose much weight either. But now with this 3rd fill I can see how I will loose weight. I was finally able to eat something last night, I now know I have to change my eating habits, like have a protine shake for Breakfast, Soup for lunch then I can finally eat more for dinner. Hope everything works out for you

thank you for the explanation I now finally understand what pb'ing is . i've not yet had that happen, i've had a little slime'ing but nothing significant, the worst thing that happened was i had been over eating and i got this horrible pain around my port site, it lasted for two days and finally felt better, it was a wake up call for me, i cannot overdo it because i can damage my insides and I must remember that. but apparently i didn't learn that much because i over ate this weekend, I hope it doesn't take some serious medical emergency to make me wake up and get my act together and follow the rules of lap band! anyways you asked when I was banded, I was banded on Sept 13, 2010 on day of surgery i was 277 got down to 253 in two months and I am now up to 264, I am so dissapointed in myself i've lost my motivation but hope to get it back soon. I go next week for 2nd visit with surgeion post op...I think it's time for a fill hopefully that will kick start my weight loss again. .. thanks again for taking the time to answer my question, how are you feeling? are you able to drink ? I would like to have someone to talk to about this stuff, it helps to read these posts. If you would like to be my email buddy my email is good2bjolly@gmail.com

      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.
