Help -Am I too tight???



Recommended Posts

Hi All-

I had my 3rd fill last week. I notice it has made a big difference - I seem to be having trouble with everything. This morning I drank a small amount of Water to take my perscription pills and I slimed and up came some salvia.

Do you think I am too tight or do I just have to adjust?

I notice the mornings are espcially difficult.

:w00t:

I too have had this concern but I think its a little of both. I have had to adjust to things like chewing better, not gulping Water and etc...this last fill for me gave me restriction and I dont want to give it back

I personally wouldnt want a unfill because chances are it will mess up the weight loss..if u losing weight then try eating slower and chew ur food well..little portions and dont drink and eat.not a good combo!

It may be like mljalways said, you may need time to readjust to your new level of restriction.

Also, it is very common to be extra tight in the morning. I have to have my thyroid meds on an empty stomach with Water and as tiny as the pill is, I still get stuck on it sometimes. Having hot liquid before eating does help if that can be worked around your meds and your Breakfast.

Try something warm in the mornings, first before taking pills. My experience in this was just trying to ride out and adjust those chewing and derinking habits. Good luck!:w00t:

If you were having problems with foods, I would say adjust your eating and chewing and maybe wait it out, but if you are sliming after Water in the morning, you should probably get an unfill. Sometimes it only takes getting .5cc out to help. Call the doctor's office and see what they think.

I would think it was more the pills than the Water that made her slime. But cold water still sometimes just gurgles down slowly for me first thing in the AM.

generally speaking today I am having a tough time.

All day yesterday was fine - I had an issue last night because I took a bit out of something that I should not have. Although I ate it slowly, it got stuck and I slimed serveral times before I went to bed. Today things are not much better.

That cleared it up a little more. It sounds like you need to go on liquids today. You probably have some swelling from last night's episode. Try the warm liquids as suggested and see if that works. If it continues more than a couple of days, please call the doctor.

I agree with what crzytchr said, you probably have some swelling from last nights episode and need to take it easy for a day or so.

When you are back on solids make sure you sit down and concentrate on eating. Take small bites, about the size of the fingernail on your index finger, chew it until it is mush then wait a few seconds before your next bite. This all may not have been necessary after the first couple fills, it wasn't for me, but I have had to readjust my eating habits with each fill since.

      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.
