mucus problems?



Recommended Posts

i have such a huge problem with mucus,

i was told to take claritin d , so i bought the 24 hour, only to find a pb after the pill swelled to 3/4 inch big.

i was just adjusted, last week, and cant keep much down,

50% of the time i cant even keep Water down, ..

how do you all live with the feeling of stuff siting in your top stomach, i t makes me want to yuck or want to flush it down with liquids,

i had the lap band for 3 months and lost 1 pound,

this last week i lost 9, but i cant flush things past my band like i used to be able to .

Try returning to liquids for a few days. If you have been PBing then you probably have some swelling. The mucus comes when things are stuck. If you keep your stoma clear for a while it should all settle down. Let everything get back to normal. Make sure you can have liquids and that you are having shakes with protein....if you can't handle liquids then you should see your Doc.....If the pills aren't sustained release, then you can crush them and put them in your liquids.....good luck, but give your Doc a call........

      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.
