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!

      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.
