Trouble every time I get to certain tightness



Recommended Posts

I was banded 2 years ago. Everyime I get to a certain tightness I get acid reflux really bad at night. This happen before and I had Fluid removed. Gradually adding it back. At that certain point again acid reflux. About 6 months ago had to have all fluid remove because had a slight slip. Gradually have been adding fluid back. Went 2 weeks ago and add another .2cc and now acid reflux. Taking Prilosec but at night it is awful. Last night so bad it ran out of my mouth. Think I am going to have to stay at 5 cc in my band and not get any more fills. I hope this makes some sense and is their anyone else who has had this problem. Calling as soon as office opens and getting fluid out today.

I have the same problem. I now know that right for me is a little lose and not as tight as I hear others describe. Once I accpeted this everything feel into place. I really have to make sure I make good choices and when I feel hungry I drink Water first and then if hungry i have a smart snack. Try to never let myself feel deprived. Good Luck to you. Feeling too tight is one of the worst feeling to me and my nurse told me reflux can lead to serious problems.

      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.
