Sliming 80% of the time..too tight?



Recommended Posts

If you are sliming about 80% of the time after taking 1-2 small bites, would you consider this a sign of being to tight?

I absolutely would say you have a problem. Have you had a fill recently that has started this whole process?

Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum.

I had a fill (somewhat aggressive) about 6 weeks ago. After 2 weeks in I feel like I slime 80% of the time after 1-2 small bites.

This makes me rely on going to soft/sliders/liquids. Eating Protein seems difficult. Because of this , my hunger is not being satisfied for 3-4 hours. Seems like I am getting hungry every hour & i been grazing though out the day.(making weight loss difficult) Im going back tomorrow & going to request taking out .5 cc. Maybe then I can get some Protein in & have satisfied hunger for longer than an hour. Guess this is a fine tuning for the green zone.

This sounds like the red zone -- I would get a small unfill immediately.

It's in the right forum now?

Yeah, you sound like you're too tight? What kind of slider foods can you consume safely? I usually ask people to open a can of Progresso or Campbell beef, veggie and barley Soup. If you can get this down easily you're not too tight. This is about the consistency you need to be chewing to. I chew Soup to this day but never get stuck on it.

Now, bread and sandwiches, minor stuck episodes 50% of the time. Tonight, overdone chicken bruschetta and a small stuck/slime episode. For me, it's eating too fast and big that brings on the sliming/stuck episodes.

Overly tight bands can cause a lot of damage. Don't sit on this for very long?

Yes, don't wait to get some Fluid removed. Sounds like you're in the danger zone.

Had to have .5cc removed due to coughing and sliming a bit but that seems to have helped.

      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.
