Ate Too Much, Swollen Now



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I haven't been here in a while. No news from me is good news..lol

We went out to eat last week and I was starving. We waited too long to eat and when my food came, I ate too fast and too much. I was in pain later that night and felt swollen with some reflux. I still do. It's a little better, but not much.

Thoughts?

I know, slap me up the side of the head, especially after reading all the recent complications Bandlanders have posted here with slippage and dilation of pouch and esophagus.:phanvan

Hi Leener!! This sort of experience is exactly why I am always preaching that we should never let ourselves get too hungry. It's so important.

Just take it real easy today and stick to small amounts of soft food. Maybe even just liquids. You know how your body reacts, so try really hard to be kind to it until it's resolved.

Good luck!

Hi Alex!

How are you? I see your going back in for surgery, best wishes to you with everything.

remember your posts about that, and believe me, I'm kicking myself now. I was so hormonal last week, I was a bit crazy withthe eating and appetite.

I've eaten smaller all week, so I am thinking I should go on liquids. Not sure if I should go to the ER at any point for a xray.

Alex - thanks for validating what I was thinking yesterday. I had a near PB incident after wolfing down a couple of bites of a hamburger because I was starving!! That bread hit my band and OUCH!!! Immediate pain. The first thing I said to myself when I replayed what went wrong was "I let myself get too hungry and made a really bad choice". That is just SO right.

Hi,

I am new to posting here. What is a PB? I've seen that term several times and wonder what it is. Also, any words of wisdom??? I've been banded for a year, met my goal, let the band out and now have gained back 15 lbs. I got a fill recently but am not motivated and am miserable. The weight is not coming off.

I am fairley new to the band (Sept. 06) but I didn't think you "let the band out" after reaching goal. Isn't the band suppose to be kept full to keep you from gaining weight back?

I'm surprised that you have been banded a year and don't know what a PB is! It is a productive burp- or when food get stuck and comes back up. Usually with a bunch of goo! You need to get back to a good fill amount to start losing again and get back to basics-exercise, measure your food, don't drink with meals, log your calories, etc.

Sirguy- Do a search on slippage and you will find symptoms of a slipped band.

      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.
