Strange feeling



Recommended Posts

I have not PB'd or vomited once since having my revision surgery on 2/27, but I feel this thickness when I swallow, like it almost feels like there is a mucus buildup. The thing is though that I don't have a cold/cough or anything, so I can't attribute it to that. All of my food/liquid goes down fine, but it just feels tight when I'm NOT eating--is this weird? Is it all in my head? lol. Can anyone relate?!

That lump is a sign of being too tight, but since you don't have other symptoms of being too tight, you probably aren't.

Probably better to check with your doctor who will be able to do an exam and evaluate the entire situation?

Why did you have to have revision surgery?

Hi Ebar,

I was also banded by Dr Fielding and fortunately have not vomited or PB'd yet. I am 6 weeks post op now, and have been steadily loosing weight. All my fdoods/liquids go down ok, even though I know I am not eating/drinking as slowly as I should be. I always seem to have an urge to burp (small one, not PB), especially after eating. Last Thurs I had an urge for steak, and tried a small piece. I cut it in very tiny pieces & chewed it at least 30 times. It all went down ok, and afterwards I burped. Since then, I have been able to regularly have small burps. Go figure...

      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.
