First two to three bites



Recommended Posts

I had a fill a week ago. Mostly Eating soft foods and started on solids too. Last night, I ate too fast , I"m sure and I was stuck, it took time but i finally threw up some food. After I threw up, I felt cool air going thru the band. It felt so cool. The full day today I was on liquids only. This evening I tried one small bite of soft fish and I feel stuck again. Not stuck like last night, but stuck. Don't know what I should do. Did my band slip? I really know that I need to eat slowly and chew lots. I know it is a learning curve but at the same time I am nervous if something is gone wrong with the band already. Before or after the fill, I find that the first two bites feel stuck as they go down, then it is okay. Is that normal. Should I be concerned? Thanks

First of relax, chances are your band is fine. I would suggest doing liquids for another 24 hours, then do mushies for 24 hours. Your band is swollen and irritated so best not to push it. I would also suggest a call to your doctor to let them know what happened, they are best to advise you.

It is a learning curve after every fill. You think you are eating small bits slowly, but the band tells you otherwise. Best of luck to you.

      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.
