Christmas eve and everything is getting stuck!



Recommended Posts

Everything I have tried to eat all day has been getting stuck!!

I hope this doesn't happen tomorrow, as we have a big dinner planned. Only the chocolate I had today was ok.

Are there some days when you are tighter than others? It's after 5 pm and I still can't really eat.

I tried a deviled egg and some chicken. Both got stuck! The chicken was in some sauce and I eat it all the time. I don't know what's wrong today!!

i've read on here that being tense can make you tight. So if you are pressured, or really whizzing around, maybe that's what's wrong? I agree try the liquids, and be calm when you eat....deep breaths, center yourself, whatever works. Maybe that will help!

Try some warm tea or something similar before dinner time to help relax your stomach. I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow. Merry Christmas!

I have heard people say that if it is at or near you TOM you may feel tighter and definitely stress tightens mine. The warm liquids before eating does help a little. Good Luck!

Could it be the weather? I live in Texas and the weather changes greatly from day to day. 5 days ago it was 17 degrees now it is super windy and 78, ugh. When we have a strong cold front blow thru I get much tighter! I was planning on a fill this week and when the weekend cold front blew thru I was so tight I threw up trying to drink hot tea. The week before I was have a difficult time not over eating. This is my 1st winter and I must say if I can get this tight with a cold front then it would be stupid (for me) to get another fill until the weather stablizes. I beleive it is the barimetric pressure that affects the tightness in my band. I should start recording this and comparing it to the barimetric pressure. I hope this helps. Happy New Year!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
