Super tight



Recommended Posts

Just curious - I had my last fill on 9.11 and have been eating fine - last night i overate but not too severely but today I woke up so tight my chest hurt a little - haven't really been that tight before. Tried drinking tang, coffee and yogurt drink and all came up. I seem to be able to keep my saliva down but still haven't drank anything and its noon. Should I just stay off everything liquid and solid until dinner - or is this something to be concerned about?

You need to stay hydrated, so don't give up the liquids. Sip instead of gulp, and choose warm instead of cold.

I would not be concerned unless it lasts more than a couple of days, or if you find that you cannot swallow Water.< /span>

Not to get too personal, but is it close to or at that time of month? I know when I get my period, I get so tight that I am relagated to almost nothing but liquids for about 3-4 days. Once my period is over, things go back to normal again.

It was actually the end of my period but I am really wondering if I'm suppossed to be tighter? Other than that day I never felt the tightness of my band physically (like tight in my chest) and I can pretty much guzzle Water and drinks. When i was super tight i could feel tightness in my chest and could only drink sips of Water out of a spoon - granted this wasn't good it was because i was so swollen but i'm just wondering now - if that's why i'm not losing - i'm still not tight enough. I can't eat much during day but late afternnon/evening i can get a lot in /down.

I just bought two weeks of medifast diet food and am hoping the band will help me stick to this new diet and i can get a few lbs off.

Sounds to me like your fill was too tight, I know when I got my fill they

flouroscoped me and when I swallowed the chalky stuff it wouldn't go down all the way, they said it was too much and took some back out.

I only have 1:6cc but think I could have used more, cause I need another

now.

      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.
