Filled 2 mos ago suddenly cant eat???



Recommended Posts

So I had my fill 2 months ago and was perfect! Thought I hit my sweet spot. My loss has been slow because I have a chocolate addiction LOL but steady. Can somebody help with why the sudden restriction?

This happens to me often , however i have a problem being sensitive to fills and my stomach swells easily , here are some things to consider , which can cause me some issues.

1. Have you Pbed anytime recectnly ?

2. Is it your Time of the month ?

3. are you under any stress ?

4. Have you flown recently ?

5. have you been sick ?

6.Anything out of the ordinary ?

Ok, I did Pb Thats how I realized such restriction( weird since its been over 2 months since my fill) I dont have a "time of the month" anymore (had a hysterectomy in Nov) Stress? well I have 4 kids but that hasnt changed LOL...No flying , havent been sick, cant think of anything else. Just so very odd to me.Thank you for trying :hurray: Just frustrated.Thinking of getting and unfill.

I would go have it checked out under flouro just to make sure.

Some times my band can tighten up for no reason but I know that its just me .

If its unusal for you then i would go have it checked .

If your so tight you can keep things down , ect then you might need a slight unfill.

Keep us updated

The cold might have something to do with it. But I would have it checked out by the doc. SOunds like your so tight your uncomfortable so you might need an unfill. These bands can be picky sometimes. I had my last fill in November. Was looking like really needed one , was starving ect. Then all of a sudden it tighted up like i had gotten a fill and now im fine again ! Go figure. Saved me $125 though !

Heather this jut happened to me as well. My last fill was the beginning of November and a slight unfil in December. Everything had been fine and I was actually considering getting a tiny fill at my appointment next month - then Friday night - WHAM! I PB'd on fish! It was awful. Now all of a sudden I'm tight. I can get food down, but it takes a really long time. I was thinking maybe I'm getting a cold or something because the kids have been sick lately and I have been stressing a lot. I hope it calms down for you soon!! You are doing fantastic and look great!! Carol

Same thing is happening to me. I'm PBing way more than I ever have, having trouble with foods I never had trouble with before, sliming almost every day, although not PBing every day. I have lost a few pounds though, it's just a miserable way to do it. I feel like I'm eating to fast and not chewing enough. BUT I am VERY stressed out right now. More than I have been in years. I'm having spasms in my colon, headaches, and can't sleep more than 4 hours a night. It definately makes things different. My occasional glass of wine to relax is becoming more than "occasional" and that scares me.

I am sure you know this but if your PBing and having trouble with foods , keeping them down , you really should go get a slight unfill. your putting your band at risk for a slip .

A lot of people do not realize that a PB and throwing up are the same when it comes to how it can affect slips with the band. Stress affects my band too and if im to in a situation liek you described i would have to go get an unfill. Loseing the weight that way is not worth it .

Good luck

Mindy

      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.
