how do you know if something is wrong?



Recommended Posts

I've never PB'd, Never thrown up, been "stuck" maybe twice since I was banded in Dec of 2006. I have 9.5 cc's in a 10 cc band and I can eat just about anything I want. I am so frustrated with that but even so, I've lost 130 pounds. (Thanks to Dr. Atkin's).

Well last week, I went to get a fill and the evil fill PA said if I can still eat whatever I want after this fill I should get an upper GI. So now I am all worried about that, I don't want to go see her because I don't want to admit to her that I can eat two gooey cinamon rolls with no problem except my guilt and self hatred.

Really, I just did that and all I feel is full. No pain, no gagging, nothing. Do you think that there could be something wrong and I just don't know it? Or do you think I would have felt something if something was wrong?

Thanks for your support.

I have definately not had the band as long as you, i have since sep 2007, but you seem to be doing well losing, so dont think anything wrong, i dont have problems eating read etc, as long as eat slow and chew, so maybe you eating slow and chewing, but i would ask the surgeon.

      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.
