honk 780 Posted August 16, 2012 Most doctors say 24 hrs liquids and then 24 hours mushies. Sounds like you moved to solids too fast. 1 Candice1985 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a horrible experience ;( sorry for your experience and yes it is horrible. I'm 9 wks post op and have been stuck 4 times. I have 4.5cc's in my band so far and getting a fill next week. I think my stuck episodes are too fast at eating and not chewing. Need to learn my band and still learning. Yes I agree with above, liquids then mushies then on to solids. Take it easy, hope you feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted August 16, 2012 Yay, happy dance time! That means you are either in the green zone or nibbling very close. You've got restriction so now you start working on how to eat so that you feel satisfied with less food. It's a happy time isn't it? And don't worry, you'll get stuck again. It takes a while to relearn years of pigging out, not chewing, bad food selection, distracted eating and eating too fast. Eat small, chew big and do it slowly. tmf 4 Toddy, Heathermarie0407, SinCityGal and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toddy 758 Posted August 16, 2012 I have to agree with tfm, it's time to Celebrate. When I was in the green zone I had to steer clear of bread -- not a big loss for the great results I was getting. I had an "incident" of my own doing and had to have some of my Fluid removed. I've had one fill since then and am still not even near the green zone. I'll be glad when I get that first signal that tells me I'm there again!!!! 2 donna12 and 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCNYMom 6 Posted August 16, 2012 Hey there.....getting stuck can be a scary experience. I have gotten stuck twice and it scared the daylights out of me. I know I was eating too fast and not chewing enough. I just had my first fill on Monday but the episodes happened before my fill. I dont think Im anywhere near the green zone being I have to stop myself when eating and I really dont feel any restriction. My doctor advised that after the fill I do 24 hours of liquid....2 days of just shakes 3x's a day and 2 days of mushies then I can go back to solid. I'm looking forward to my mushies today lol. Hang in there and remember little bites.....chew chew chew......we are re-teaching oursleves and changing something we have done for years and years and years.....we are in it together 1 donna12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerbySunflower 28 Posted August 16, 2012 My Doctor recommends 3 days of liquids followed by 2 days of mushies. I failed to follow his instructions, got stuck and have figured out that I have to bend over with my head below my hips, face over the toilet to let it all backflow a bit. It's scary when it happens. 1 donna12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
