I haven't had a fill yet, but I have noticed that if I eat bread that it kind of feels like it is balled up at the base of my esophagus. I avoid bread now because of this. Same thing happened the first time I tried rice post-op, too. Everyone has problems with different things. I was told by my nutritionist that it is going to be tentative trial and error to figure out what you can or cannot tolerate.

My doctor told me no breads of any kind for quite a while...but said I prob wont ever eat rice again...rice is tough he said. I am 4 weeks out and havent had bread, rice, starches, or sugar for about 6 weeks now. Amazed that I dont miss it.

I have had many times where something gets semi stuck, where I don't chew enough or eat too fast. It generally goes down slow and hurts or feels uncomfortable, just the band reminding me to eat properly. It happens less and less as I have adjusted to eating properly.

One time though I had a piece of bread I was slowly eating on my desk. I was distracted by a game I was playing and took a big bite and swallowed it without chewing it much at all. After about 45 minutes of total misery it finally came back up, at about an hour and a half I was finally able to sip some Water. That was the only time I have been truly stuck so far and it was totally avoidable.

I have to be careful with rice. Eating it too fast or at all. It felt like I had a handful of pills stuck in my throat. I immediately stopped eating and walked around Another time I took a sip of Water. I haven't even tried bread

For me the only thing that opens it up is throwing up. I have a hard time with broccoli and foods that are hard to chew or don't really dissolve

Well my full 1 month ago has me at 7.5cc i have got stuck 2 times in which i threw up to clear my throat is not like really throwing up though keeps me eating slowly or not overeating at night. I have an issue with this but my band stops me. After that fill i lost 4 pounds. I'm losing slowly but i know the inches are coming off I'm down 2 sizes in dresses and 1 size in pants. I can eat rice and a little bread but i try to avoid to lose weight

Wow this is the worst. Happens at least 1 every 2 months. Only vomiting helps. Eeuw. And it's painful. Stop eating and take a minute just to get it down.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
