TOO TIGHT!



Recommended Posts

I received a fill on Oct. 6 - 3 weeks ago. I have been tight since then but able to get down solid Proteins as long as they aren't too dry. Been doing really well with my food choices, fluids and Vitamins. Yesterday I wasn't feeling well so I stayed home from work - couldn't pin point it - just run down extremely exhausted feeling.

Ate something in the morning after I had my morning coffee that got stuck. Well it stayed stuck for a while and after I finally got it out I made myself a cup of hot Water with lemon and honey. I sipped that and yup stuck again. Again that came up and I tried some more liquids as the day went on everytime getting the stuck feeling. Well, finally I went to bed even though I still had the stuck feeling. Propped myself up on pillows and tried to sleep. I seemed to wake up every hour or so last night choking and having to throw up. It was a horrible night! This morning I tried to drink something hot and got the stuck feeling. I just got some cold water and same thing. I called my doctor this morning and made an appt for this afternoon.

What do you think? Possibly a little virus? Or my band just finally got tighter after the fill? Do you get tighter weeks after a fill? I usually get tight around my period but that is not scheduled to appear until end of next week? Worst night with the band so far. Just when I think I got this thing down a new surprise.

So sorry for your bad night. My band is a little tight, but nothing like this! I have heard from many people that it can take up to 2-3 weeks to feel the actual effects from a fill, so I'm thinkin its def too tight. Glad you made the decision to go to the doctor. I think its a scary situation anytime you can't even get liquids down. Take care, let us know how you feel after the doctor!

It can take a while for a fill to really "settle in". How did you appointment go?

Thanks for your replies! My appointment was great. She pulled out some Fluid and kept it out for a minute or so and I actually felt whatever was lodged in there pass. It was such sweet relief! ahhh....She also took out the .5 fill I got last visit. I go back next week to see if I feel ok and to see if we want to put back the .5. I am taking it super easy and doing mushies today and tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great weekend! :D

      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.
