Eating 2-3 bites, then ouch!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Is any one out there so filled that they can only eat 2-5 bites of something before it gets so painful in your esophagus that you can't stand it? Then I end up throwing it back up. This has been happening almost daily for about a month now. I have lost about 15-19 lbs., but have great difficulty in not trying to go back after vomitting to try to get some food down.

I am going to try to go back to Protein shakes, bars, and some softer foods to try to heal my esophagus.

Any one else having that trouble? The only way that I can get any food down is to drink hot tea with my meals and even then sometimes it won't work.

Hi Barb -

You are on a direct course to slippage. Vomitting everyday for a month is very hard on your band placement.

I recommend an unfill at once to let everything heal and settle - then refill slowly in increments.

Just my best advice based on over a year of reading over four boards with members who have been banded more than four years.

Barb, I agree with Donali. Get at least a slight unfill before you hurt yourself! Vomiting that often is definitely a bad thing.

Let us know how you are, OK?

Hi Barb

I know you worked so hard to find a fill doctor and hes a long drive away.

Just when you think you finaly have restriction, but your too tight.

I have to agree with Donali and Alexandra.

Get a slight un-fill for starters. Til then you may want to stick to fluilds, keep up your Protein.< /p>

Keep up us posted....Been thinking bout U

Thanks girls, I spoke to Sadie (in Monterrey) yesterday and she recommended that I start with fluids, then soft, then try some regular food. She also says if this continues after this week that I should have .3 cc removed. Thanks again.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
