Too tight vs stuck episode vs who knows



Recommended Posts

Ok here's the story. I was banded Aug 6 and am down 27 lbs. I went for 1 st fill one month after surgery and didn't need it because I was doing good. About a week after that I was hungry more and got 2 cc put in. I did okay but wasn't losing. Went back in at next appt which was a 1.5 weeks ago and had 2 more cc put in. Since then I have had the pb for the first time ever every night. I had chicken get stuck so bad yesterday that I vomited. Today I can swallow but...water hurts. I am thinking clears for a couple of days, 1 cc Fluid removal Tuesday (my day off). Any other thoughts?

Many of us believe we are slowly eating small bites and chewing properly? I know I believed I was for the first 9 months. But I wasn't. Learning to eat properly with the band can be one of the most difficult processes after being banded.

I like to advise that if you can eat creamy Soups with small soft chunks you may not be too tight. This is the consistency of chewed food most of us have to learn to achieve success. If you can't swallow fluids or creamy Soups you may be too tight?

I had all the Fluid removed and I am so much better. I have another appt in 2 weeks and will have some fluid put back in then. I feel so much better.
