Am I Too Tight? Eating To Fast? Or Do I Need A Fill??



Recommended Posts

I haven't had a fill since October...im not real sure if I need one or am I too tight? When I eat I tend to eat faster than I should...and my food will get stuck almost everytime...but I will be hungry almost 2 hours later...I'm wondering if i need a fill and just slow down my bites and chew more...I've only had 4 fills. I've lost 32 since surgery July 20 and haven't lost a pound since December 5

Generally if you get stuck you do get hungry sooner than you should as you probably didn't manage to finish your meal.

I wouldn't even contemplate having another fill at this point. You need to focus on eating slower so you don't get stuck. Another fill will just make getting stuck even easier.

I agree. Slow down.

I go through the same thing sometimes. It's totally my fault. When I slow down and chew my food I enjoy it, can eat more, and stay full. Before my surgery I was a VERY fast eater and I see myself falling into that pattern again sometimes. Our bodies do need calories. My advice is to slow down. Are you sitting down when you eat or just eating on the run? I catch myself in bad habits a lot. Try slowing down first and see how you do.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
