How Does It Feel To Be "stuck"!?



Recommended Posts

Sounds like your too tight. Contact your doctor immediately, but don't eat anything for 6 hours

I'm stuck at the moment, too... Swallowed too quick and didn't chew enough... Right now I'm burping a lot. In a little while, if this doesn't go down on its own I'll make some hot tea to try and expand the band...

Was this after you ate (within 1-2 hours)? If so, take a walk to help the food go down. Next time, cut you food up into tiny bits and eat slowly.

If it's not food related, go see the doc.

You will learn to eat slower, chew more and take smaller bites.

"I wont do that again!"

Wanna bet? :lol:

For me, 63 years of programming has been very hard to change. I've had the same thought 30-40 times now.

      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.
