What a freaky day....

It's officially been three weeks since banding. I have had no fills yet. I have felt some restriction, as it's the smallest band they make that I have inside me. Fine. I've been eating mushies, and had no problem. Yesterday I had scrambled eggs, with half a slice of cheese. Yumm! Today, I tried to eat the same thing, and two bites in, it absolutely stopped, and I ended up sliming for about half an hour.

Later, hours later, I tried some cheese ravioli. Again, two bites in, (and being very very very careful about chewing thoroughly, and waiting a while between bites.) it all stopped again. And again, more sliming...(in fact I took a break in the middle of typing this to go do that some more).

Today, it seems, all I can tolerate is liquid.

Any idea why that would be the case?

:confused2:

This happend to me on Sunday. I will be 4 weeks post op tomorrow. I have been doing just fine on liquids and mushies. Sunday I tried an egg with cheese as well and that was it. Took two bites and it was like it would not go down.

I did not do any slimming, I stopped eating for the remainder of the day. I only had liquids. The next day I only had liquids also. I felt really full and heavy in the stomach are so I decided I may be constipated.

Took a laxative and yes, I needed that but still dont feel quite right. Dont have the heavy feeling in my stomach but still feel a little queasy and not sure why.

Hang in there.

Today I managed to eat a 3 oz tuna steak, bbq'd....and 2 oz of fried potatoes. I had to stop in the middle, and take an hour long break, but went back and finished it after that. No pb'ing, and no sliming. And OH MAN! Talk about delicious! :cool2:
