First off … it has been a tad over 3 months since I was banded and I’m still getting shoulder pain!! Not all the time but it sure happens more then I want! It seems to happen when I’m hungry! Is this anyway normal!? Does it go away??

Second question… I just got my 3rd fill last week and things seem to be going good! I finally have restriction!! YAY!! HOWEVER…. Some days food seems to go down fantastic and other days food seems to get clogged (not stuck just clogged) or maybe I don’t know what stuck really means. What I mean by “clogged” is pressure (more discomfort then pain… sometimes pain though) in my chest area. The weird thing is it’s only some days and not others!? The days where the food doesn’t get clogged I can eat healthy portions of food and feel satisfied … not full!! Is this normal??

I to am 3 months out 1-11-2011. I have lost 29 lbs and keep bouncing back and forth a few pounds. I have had 2 fills and 1 unfill. I get alot of restrictions at time and not others also. The pain is what I consider restriction and getting stuck. I have had several episodes of food getting stuck and having to throw it back up to relieve the pain. You dont want that feeling it can be rough expecially if you are in a restraunt. I dont know why sometimes food can go down easier than others. It happnens to me also and it can be the same food one day is ok the other it hangs. I have learned that if I get even the slightest feeling of pressure to stop eating. I have never gotten a full sensation satisfied to a point were I can keep my self from eating more but I do eat more than the 1/2 to 1 cup of food on most days.

      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.
