I dont know if this is possible, but is is possible for something to get a LITTLE stuck? I had Chineese food last night....chicken and broccoli. I also had maybe 1/3 cup of rice mixed in there. About 10 minutes after eatting, I felt the restriction....then there was a little weird pain in the center of my sternum. Felt like there was something possibly stuck and then went way. Maybe I didn't chew a piece of broccoli good enough? Maybe it was the rice? I am blaming the rice.....I have heard a lot of people say they can't do rice. I have been filled....If I remember correctly I am at 2.5...I could be wrong....the humidity in NY has been CRAZY so I may be outta my mind just a little bit. This morning I desided to have a liquid breakfast...nothing is coming up or out, I have had no slime, no hiccups...nothing.....I just want to make sure what ever it was is gone!! I have burped a few good times, maybe the broccoli just gave me gas? I dunno.....so many things that could happen its hard to tell....live and learn as they say

I took a bite of a peach the other day, it was'nt quit ripe. I chewed and chewed..then I gave the rest to my kid. About an hour later it felt stuck, it took another hour for it to pass. I still learn the hard way.

Yep, a little bit stuck. I have to lift my arms up over my head and stretch up and back. That usually opens up the area enough to make whatever go on down. It's always uncomfortable, and sometimes I slime, too. But it always goes down. That band is there, buddy! But if I swallow too fast and don't chew enough, I get a little bit stuck.

I have really been feelin my band ever since my first fill last week! Holy Moly! Who ever invented this whole process was such a smart person! Who woulda thunk it!!! I have been feeling fuller quicker and longer....I have been satisfied with what I have been eatting and haven't really had any complications thank God, except for this little bit stuck experience.....that I still blame the rice for...ohhhh evil demon rice :devious I couldn't imagin what is going to happen with my next fill...whoa! scarey scarey scarey........all though, interesting and fasinating to see the pounds come off!

I find that happens to me on pretty much a daily basis at the moment. I find that eating a mouthful or two, then getting up and walking around before taking the next mouthful, tends to help a bit.

Hey Porcl,

Sorry to hear about your discomfort. You are already filled to 2.5cc?

I went for my first fill on Friday, and only have 1cc. I don't feel any restriction tho.

I am wondering if I should call the doctor and see if I can get an addtional fill.

This weather is killing me.....plus, I have a sinus infestion, as well as a chest cold.

We don't have any A/C in our school, so I sweat like a pig, then cool off with a small desk fan....I cant wait to be done....

TTYS

      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.
