too tight or something stuck?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

2 and 1/2 weeks ago i had my second fill. since that time i have had a harder time swallowing meat even cut into tiny pieces and tender cuts of meat. If something did not go down right i would end up vomiting. This also happened with crunchy foods etc. Since sunday, i have not been able to keep down food and am on a liquid diet now as my dr. recommended, they say i may have irritated it and need to let it rest for a few days. I have been doing the liquid diet but have had a hard time. It seems like it takes a long time for a mouthfull of liquid to go down and then i belch and belch. I hope i havent done something terribly wrong and have totally messed it up. Could it be that the band has gotten tighter over the last two weeks. I never had a prob. before the second fill and have lost 55 lbs since december. Thanks

It sounds like you may me slightly too tight. I would discuss with the surgeon and consider a small unfill. Sometimes as little as 0.1 cc can make a huge difference. Please get yourseld checked out though. You want to be able to eat healthy foods.

      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.
