Is Food Stuck In My Lap Band?



Recommended Posts

I am exactly 1 week post op. I have been mOstly good with liquids, buts st nite I ate watermelon, I think it's stuck? I feel ok, just full...... I think I'm actually unsure???

Would I knw if the food was stuck? Is it painful? Would I knw for sure?

I kinda feel like there's fullness in my neck.

BTW I'm so glad I found this forum, so comforting to knw I'm not the only one with crazy food thoughts :)

Also does anyone have thoughts on scrambled eggs start of 2nd wk?

Unless you ate the whole thing, you're unlikely to be stuck. It's a little early for foods like that, but you knew it was too

soon, but thought you'd try anyway. You probably irritated your stoma. I hope you were given a list of foods, and when

you could eat them. Your stomach is still healing and you need to give it a chance. You need to go back on liquids for

a day or two to see if that full feeling goes away. From there on, follow your dietitians instructions.

Ditto !

Your job is to heal ! So don't start putting things to chew in your mouth, when it should be liquids.< /p>

Once you heal. Sure scrambled eggs Mashed Potatoes, Hearty Soups, even Chili...

but give it a chance first.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

      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.
