Am I too tight? Or give it time?



Recommended Posts

my band is very tight, I can do fluids fine but other foods get stuck often and I wind up just burping alot and very uncomfortable... not throwing up anything, just a lot of saliva in my mouth and trying to make myself burp....

does anyone know if that is hurting me to burp so much? Nothing comes up just burping to move the food... Is it damaging to your band if food gets stuck often?

Update...I went to see the surgeon today. Since liquids are going down OK and aren't gurgling anymore, he said I had two options. 1) Do liquids until Friday and see how I do, then introduce mushies again. He is there all day Friday if I need to be seen 2) Get the .5CC taken out.

I chose to do liquids because he said as I lose weight it will get less tight. He said to just keep an eye on my urine that it doesn't get dark and to make sure I stay hydrated.

Ok i forgot to ask why are you watching for dark urine???? Is that a sign of being dehydrated?

Yes if we do not get enough liquids to flush the toxins from our system our urine will get really dark.Just to update my fill from Friday is tons better today so I feel you will be fine if you just give it a little more time.It always takes about a week for me after a fill for the swelling to go down and I can see where I am gonna be.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
