eating not so good...

[usmcwife1997 1]

I was banded on March 31st. I have had 3 fills and I'm losing weight. The only thing that I am having problems with is one day I can eat fine, the next day, everything I eat comes back up. I can keep my fluids down, but on my 'bad' days everything I try to eat sits right in my chest until I cough it up. Even stuff like pudding that should slide right down. Does anyone else have this problem? It is honestly an every other day occurance since my last fill 2 weeks ago.

Thanks!

OMG, I wish I knew the answer. I was banded on 3/30/09. I have had 3 fills (last Wed was my third). I had to go back Friday for a .8 cc unfill. I am exactly the same way. Some days, I can eat fine; some days I can't. I can't even pinpoint the type of food. Very frustrating. I am PB'ing way to much! I know it's not good for me, and I worry about damage. I just don't know how to control it. Best of luck to you. If you find the answer, let me know. :crying: God Bless You!

I have had a simular problem. One day I can eat just fine and then not... It's almost like it is swollen. I am very tight, but not too tight.

But like you there are days, that everything seems to come back up. On those days, I will resort to a high Protein drink. The too tight days are getting less and less... I'm under the impression that as I loose weight that my band will loosen as the fat around my tummy decreases. I talked with my surgeon and we both agreed, just to let me be very tight and to naturally let the band looses and I loose weight.

Best wishes and hope if gets better... did for me.

It sounds like you are too tight. You should make an Appt to see your doctor as soon as possible to go over these symptoms with him/her.
