Oh how I feel for you!

The only things I've found that work (for me) are either bringing the offending item back up (which offers almost instant relief) or waiting it out.

My dietician had suggested drinking Water or coke to wash it down. For me, this makes it much worse, but everyone is different.

Hope you feel heaps better soon!

do you feel like you can burp pretty good? It helps me to burp and burp and burp....like force out the burps.

Walking around helps too....even in my living room.

thanks guys for your help-

not to be too graphic- i finally was able to release it. It wasn't my dinner- just slime (I know too much info!)

I've never PB'd before and it was a little scary- the first time.

I think my band is tighter at night- has anyone experienced this?

When I eat lunch and breakfast- I chew and eat pretty normally- oatmeal or slimfast, turkey on 1 slice wheat with Tomato and lettuce for lunch,

and dinner- Protein and veggies.

It seems at night- either I get too hungry and eat too fast or I don't chew well enough- I'm learning though- this second little fill is great-

I LOVE MY BAND- I feel like I've been given my life back.

Thanks to you all for always uplifting me and others on LBT.

      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.
