am I too tight?



Recommended Posts

After my last fill, I can hardly eat anything. I can't eat chicken, fish, pork, beef, of any cut or consistency without having to puke. I'm really getting tired of puking :-( Am I too tight? When i call my physician's office the girl that answers the phone can be quite nasty and she instructed me to take smaller bites. I take small bites and then I time them out one minute in attempt to not puke. The only thing I can eat and not puke are my slider foods: popcorn, macaroni and cheese, and pudding.< /p>

Are you making sure the meat isn't too dry? I was having the same issue and I had to get my band loosen yesterday and I feel better today so far. But time will tell because when I got my 2nd fill I was doing ok then 3 weeks later I was feeling tight. Like you, I chewed my food and timed myself. You maybe too tight....How long ago was your fill?

If it were me, I'd ask to speak with a nurse rather than the receptionist. Be your own advocate. Sounds like either the meat is too dry or you are too tight. Good luck!!

I can't eat ANYTHING except mac and cheese, popcorn and pudding.. .i cut everything up to the size of the end of my pinky finger and take a bite, wait a minute (literally), take a bite, wait a minute.. and sure enough puke every time. I don't think that I over eat because i weigh my food out and never ever get to finish it.

My fill was on May 20th and I've been puking ever since I started on solid foods again on 5/22. I started to think this was going to be my way of life forever but I can't continue to puke!

Puking can cause complications that you don't want. It sounds like you might need an unfill slightly. I'd get in to see my doctor, if I were you. Don't stop at the front desk when you call.

Sounds like you're too tight. I would have to talk to the nurse or doctor or just go up there if it's not too far and see what could be done. Good Luck!

Luckily my physician was able to get me in around 1:15 yesterday.. he took out .5cc of Fluid after giving me a lecture of not losing enough weight and eating the wrong foods (my slider foods because all my good foods would get vomited)

I'm very happy to say that today I can eat!! waaaa-hooo!! lol I haven't been able to eat meat in nearly a month, and today I had some fish. The SAME fish that got stuck on Saturday and caused me to puke.

Great! Glad things are better for you.

I have never been brave enough to try popcorn. Too afraid it won't go down!

i would really think popcorn would get stuck.. but it's a slider for me! If I didn't watch I could definitely eat a whole bag with no problem.

      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.
