throat and sinus pressure



Recommended Posts

Well its been a while since I've checked in here. I received my second fill last week and finally am feeling some restriction. 6cc to date. I haven't seen anyone post a similar question, so I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing these symptoms. Since my last fill, I feel a slight pressure in my throat glands (tonsils?) some sinus pressure, sometimes minor headaches. I don't believe I'm coming down with a cold. This is not a feeling which is painful or worrisome, just curious if maybe the restriction on the upper stomach will cause some pressure to these other areas. These say the eyes, ears and throat are all connected. I am now three months post op. Have not lost any more weight since my initial Optifast diet, however now that I am eating so much less I'm sure that this will change, I hope anyway. I know I am not following the rules though, need to get to the gym and quit with the Xmas baking.

Well it looks to me like you are loosing weight. Remember, the turtle wins the race. Go slow and easy, focus on changing your eating habits, exercise and the weight will come off. I am the turle and have been loosing .85 lbs per week since February. But my eating habits are changing that is my goal. Hope you meet yours. Merry Christmas Doddie

I felt those same symptoms after my fill last week but I'm definitely coming down with a cold. I've felt miserable all weekend.

      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.
