Weirdest(perhaps even cool??) feeling ever...



Recommended Posts

I was eating my lunch and I felt the tightness in the back of my throat..waited a little and then took a sip of Water...I could feel it just sitting there...actually intensified the pain a bit...not fun..

Well, anyway...I bent over to pick up one of the THOUSANDS of toys on the floor and the Water rushed back into my throat and a little of it got into my mouth..

Ok...yes, that was gross...but it was also really kind of cool. Like an anatomy lesson.

Has this happened to you???

Not with banding, although its been close, lol. Drinking while eating doesnt in general bother me and I do it, but if I"m the least bit blocked I cant.

But I lived with that daily for the last 5 months of my third pregnancy. I threw up in the clean washing once when I bent over the pick up the basket.

My first 2 pregnancies were fine, I'm nice and tall so no huge cumbersome stomach, no stretchmarks, push out a baby in 40 minutes! Easy. But the third, ugh. She was breech and lodged in my chest more so than my abdominal cavity. I didnt need any maternity clothes till after 30 weeks, my stomach stayed flat (well as flat as a stomach is for a 100kg person!). But the reflux, heartburn and inabilty to breath was simply awful, I had to sleep sitting up and if I bent over I threw up.

And eating wise it was EXACTLY what being banded was like, get hungry, eat half a cup of food and be stuffed. I lost 10kg over that pregnancy.

Hasn't happened but I can't drink if my band is stopped up. If I do, I get this moment of "uh oh" tingly feeling, like the odd nothingness sort of tingle you get in the split second between when you stub your toe, and when the pain kicks in. No pain yet, but you know you're in for some badness.

Then the pain kicks in.

Maybe next time I should just bend over and see if I can get it to flow back into my mouth. That would be preferrable to the pain++.

I wonder if Water that has sat on top of esophogeal food takes on any of the flavor...

Hasn't happened yet, but with today's fill I am tighter than I have ever been. Trying to drink water, and maybe I won't bend over. I can barely swallow spit at the moment.

It happened to me one awhile ago. I was spacing out and for a moment forgot i had a lap-band and drank juice really fast even though i was kinda "stuck". I PB'ed so much juice, burped, i don't know it was so nasty i thought my stomach blew up.

Needless to say i don't space out anymore when i drink :o

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
