I just got my second fill and now have 4 c's..and when I try to eat the food gets stuck so bad I feel like I can't breath. The pain is so awful, I'm chewing the food to applesauce consistency but it's not working...any ideas?

eating too fast

eating too much

too tight????

Did you do just fluids after fill, you might want to try that, but call your Dr first and get their opinion.

Maybe it's too much Fluid in your band; some people can only tolerate very small amounts (I can only get .5 cc at a time). Usually when I get a fill I am recommended to slowly work back to solids over a couple of days. I would say, go on liquids for a day to give yourself a chance to adjust, but if you're still having issued, you may need some fluid out.

When I take too big a bit and eat too fast that is how I feel. You are starting to feel restriction, so you need to reevaluate your eating.

If you are having a hard time keeping Water down the I would say you are too tight. Best thing to do is call your doctor.

Also, your band is irritated now so you might need to do 24 hr liquids and 24 hr mushy. Just a suggestion.

Ouch. When I've been in this situation I have tried to eat different things and chew to different consistencies. Problem was, I would not wait for my band to calm down in between times. Take 6 hrs off and eat yogurt and Protein shakes. Water your applesauce down and then try again.

If it continues then call the dr. I actual enjoy the restriction I feel the first few weeks after a fill. ( once I figured out how to eat that is)

Take our words into consideration but you know yourself the best. Call your dr if it feels wrong!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
