I think im too tight!



Recommended Posts

I went in for my fill (2nd) on Wednesday.( had 3 cc's then he added 1.6 cc's on wed- in my 10 cc band) Now, it being monday, I should be on normal foods again. The first days I was on liquids and then it was time for mushies. But everything I ate came back up. I tried scrambled eggs, refried Beans, tuna, it all gave my that awful chest tightening feeling and made me get sick, so I called my doc and he said to go back to liquids for a few days. Now, being monday, I tried to eat eggs again, It didnt come back up but I still fell that chest tightness. I know im eating slowly and chewing well. Also when drinking I feel that tightness....I think im too tight, any opinions?

yes you maybe to tight. The same thing happened to me on my second fill and that was a week ago and i can only eat a very little at a time without having that tightening feeling. But mine was due to not chewing good and eating to much on a fork...try eating very very little at a time or go back and telly our doctor to take a little out.

Yes have some taken out you can always have more put in later but sounds like you are way too tight - I can't imagine having that much put in so close together - I had 1.50 getting me up to 2.75 and I had to have .25 taken out or I would not be able to eat at all - last night I threw up all my dinner because it wouldn't go down but the night before was able to eat some steak, spinach with no problem - I can't figure it out.

      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.
