Am I Too Tight...

[joannedt 83]

If I'm constantly burping after I drink? I had my second fill yesterday, 6cc in a 10cc band. liquids aren't coming up but I burp a lot and get a heavyness in my chest sometimes. I can't eat anything soft without feeling stuck. My doctor had me on liquids yesterday and soft foods today. Will it get looser as time goes on? Need your help Mis73! You're an expert and I trust your advice! I'm afraid to eat.

I would go ahead and give it a couple more days. If you are too tight...you will know.

Take smaller sips and smaller bites and give it some time. If you ever get to the point that you can't keep liquids down, then you need immediate help. Otherwise, you may just need to work on your band eating skills. I know it takes me a while to learn to eat with each fill. Don't drink carbonated beverages or eat things like soft bread.< /p>

I think I was eating too fast. I just had some vegetable Soup and it seems fine. And I'm finally full after eating just one cup! I think I'll stay on liquids for another day just in case.

I have the same problem after I get my fills. I do liquids just fine but when I eat food I would have the same problems. I have discovered that I have to learn how to eat slower after every fill. It just takes time is what my doctor tells me. Good luck to you.

I have done that before also. It will stop, just don't eat anything else until you stop getting sick.

I'm trying not to panic...it hurts so bad

Sometimes, you have to get it up. I would go in your bathroom, lean over your sink and cough. Many times, I have to have it come back up. It won't go down. If you have some pineapple juice, sip a little. And invest in some papaya enzyme tablets; they can help too.

It will go down or come back up, it's ok, stay calm. Just give it a few minutes. Do not try to eat or drink anything until it passes

[Ms. Jess 1]

Thanks, I'm finally calming down, it makes me never want to eat again...

[Ms. Jess 1]

What does the pineapple juice do?

[joannedt 83]

@ Ms Jess I know what you mean about being scared to eat! I'm scared too. Getting stuck is no fun! And it hurts for a while! The pineapple juice and enzymes are supposed to help get you unstuck. I tried a few sips of pineapple juice and it allowed me to slime up the food that was stuck. I didn't throw up, just a ton of slimy stuff.

[Ms. Jess 1]

That's what it is...it's like slime...The pain is horrific...I hope this never happens again...

Ms Jess I too had my first full on Monday almost two weeks ago, I am just now really getting back on real foods. I attempted it before but was just having too many problems. So I went onto like a mushy/ full mushy diet. You may be like other who just take longer to adjust to a new fill.
