Aspiration Problems



Recommended Posts

hi janell,

i am newly banded (3/30) and i dont have any fill and i had aspiration pneumonia. i am on 2 different antibiotics to clear it up.

the only way they could tell was by taking a chest xray. did you have this done?

i definitely feel better since i started the antibiotics.

i got the pneumonia about 3 weeks after my surgery.

Wow! Will you be able to get fills? Usually aspiration only occurs when you are too tight.

hi carlene,

actually i think this may have been my fault.

even tho' the 3 rules: eat small bites, eat slowly and dont drink while eating...sounded easy in theory. it was more difficult then i thought.

early on i could eat. i think i may have violated above and irritated my esophagus. and then i was PB'ing. so i think in all of this i may have taken in foreign matter in my lungs.

a friend of mine is a doctor and i saw her last weekend and she said the mouth has the most bacteria.

the upside is....i'm not hungry at all.

i did read somewhere on this site that some people dont need fills for awhile.

however i would like to start eating again. i'm still pretty much on liquids (Protein shakes, soups) and Vitamins. i feel great however.

before being banded i realize the quantity and quality of food i had been eating made me feel like cr#p

Josie...

I am not a doctor, but this does not sound right. You have no fill and should not be PBing. An unfilled band is, essentially, no band at all.

I hope you are going to have your first fill done under fluoro so the band doctor can check your band.

hi carlene

      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.
