When I was eating today, it felt like the food was stuck in my esophagus.

That's okay, right? Because isn't the esophagus the new stomach after the band? Isn't it the pouch?

Hee hee, I was reading some of this thread and thought, holy heck what is going on. I went back to the start of the thread and realised you crazy critters are just mucking about! Yey! I love it, nutty and a little chewy too! ;)

Yes it is, along with your larynx and the back (deep) portion of your nose. Actually when food starts oozing from your nose , it's a pretty good sign you're full. Oh, and remember to wait at least 30 minutes after your meal before you have liquids!

It is especially fun when the food oozing from your sinus is lettuce. It's makes it fun, itchy too.

Being banded brings a whole new light to sneezing. :P

I don't have a cat or a fish. I have a dog. She loves the lap band because she gets all the foods that I try to eat and end up in her dish. It's because my new stomach, the esophagus, gets full really fast on 1/3 of a cup of food.< /p>

Denise 1/3 of a cup is waaaay to much. It should be more like 1/8 to 1/4 max!

Are we talking the fish or the band?

I eat about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food and do great, everyone is different. BUT if we are talking the fish...lol..yeah too much food!

Okay, I couldn't take it ANYMORE, so here's the question that was asked:

Unfill or ride it out?

Hey there guys, just had another fill today and he decided to be a little agressive as I still havent lost any weight after 9 months.

Put another 1ml in making total of 6.5ml, got home and cant even drink Water. Tried to drink warm tea and had really bad pains like something was stuck then it came back up again.

He said to come back if I needed adjustment (he is only in town today and tomorrow) but I know from experience that my last fill (which was not this tight) wore off after a couple of weeks.

Do you think I should go back or will it settle down as the hours go on?

Thanks

--------------

Here's my response. Was I too rude? Who cares if I was, I just couldn't take it!

Hmmmm, you got a 1ml fill (he was being "a little aggressive")

it's never felt this tight before,

it took a while for it to loosen up the last time when it felt a bit tight,

you can't drink water,

you can't even keep down warm tea,

and you are asking if you need an unfill???????

Yep, I think so.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      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.
