Recommended Posts

Last Sunday I went through a day feeling like I was in banster hell.....

just wanted to eat eat eat......

this Sunday started with a tooth ache so I took 2 ibraprohins....with my coffee...

then I had a yogurt and could eat only half the cup....we were running late for church so

I didnt think much of it...put it in the fridge for later...

Got home and started lunch ate the yogurt i didnt finish earlier...i felt fine...

I dished out lunch and 2 bites into it I knew I was stuck.....

it lasted ALL DAY....i retched and sat in the bathroom most of the afternoon and night...

A few times I tryed getting some Water down and it hurt even more till it came back....

Finally i got to go to bed and i hurt most of the night...and even had reflex....which I have never had....

So this morning i tryed a lil coffee...it went down but i could feel it going down.....i had a lil yogurt and it was ok to...i did it it very slow...

I did call my Doctor...he is off today but said he could be in the office at 3:30 he would like to see me....

So I am going to ask to have a lil removed from my band...i have had one to many stucks....

even though I know its my own fault for not paying attention....

That's what happened to me a few times also when I had to have some removed. Had a few stuck episodes and the swelling wouldn't go down. Immediate relief afterwards! Hope you are feeling better soon.

If you have to have a little removed, that's not your fault "for not paying attention". If anything, you should feel proud you recognize the fact what you're experiencing isn't normal are getting a little unfill. Too often people walk around with bands too tight and end up with slips.

...the fact you realize this, and are getting taken care of, makes you one of the wise ones :)

Ask your surgeon about taking Ibuprofen. My doc said not to take any Nsaids, including aspirin and ibuprofen.

I am currently dealing with a small rotator cuff tear, bursitis and tendinitis in my left shoulder and my band doc and my ortho are in agreement that I should not take any kind of anti-inflammatory because of the risk of band erosion.

Well I went to Dr and he removed all Fluid from my band...he says we will see how i feel on Thursday then fingers crossed put it all back in...

He even told me to stop and get a milk shake on my way home and help my throat feel better......

      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.
