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.

      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.
