question:confused:...do any of yall have these, what i call esophageal spasms? i don't have to be eating or drinking but i get these spasms upper chest...it's not so bad i can't stand it, but not pleasant either....

ok, i will hush for a while...:) yall hang in there...i am trying to catch up...:thumbup:

I do get the spasms. Unfortunately for me, I was getting them before surgery, so I take levsin for it. My PCP seems to think it is a part of my IBS.

hey slim...you can never give TMI...hehe...:tt2:when you had your p'bing episode...was it like i have heard...slimy? or just stuck...? did it hurt? or just uncomfy? it worries me a little that there wasn't really a warning leading up to it, just a hello, here i am kinda think, ya know?

It was slimy, but I didn't slime if that makes sense. I could see the slime when the chicken came up, but I never had just slime coming up into my mouth. It didn't hurt, but it never made it out of my throat. I just felt like I should have been choking or something. I burped a few times while it was in my throat, but it didn't give any kind of relief. I would have loved to have a warning. I don't know if I missed it or what. I am just going slow with it now.

Hi Samurai! I am 6 weeks and 1 day post op. Ihad my first fill today. It went like a breeze. I got 3 ccs in my 9 cc realize band. I was really surprised to get that much. The dr said that I should feel restriction and to do soft foods and liquids tonight. I came home and had a little broccoli and rice mix with a little mashed chicken. It went down well. Oh and by the way I have lost 21 lbs since surgery! I also started the couch to 5k program this week and love love love it!

You are doing so well with your weight loss! I am glad that your fill went well. I have my first fill tomorrow. Supposedly, my doctor won't tell me how much they put in though. I guess I will see tomorrow. Keep up the good work!:sad_smile:

      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.
