First bad stuck episode.



Recommended Posts

Ok, I admit I was stressed out and ate a bit too fast. I thought I chewed it enough, but I didn't.

This brings to mind many questions. Specifically do you all burp when you eat? It can sometimes me spasmodic with a hiccup then a burp. They aren't always connected to a food/drink so I don't know what to think of that one.

I now know to go the shake route for the mornings and try to cut small bites of food. NOT stress out right before I go eat and just try to go slower. I had not had restriction for so long, this one threw me for a loop. Right back to reality!

Sorry it happened to you today, but it's happened to the best of us!

If I haven't chewed well, I will sometimes burp or hiccup, and it always comes as a surprise to me! :thumbup:

I hiccup AND burp like some 20 year old frat boy!!! Those are my signs to slow it down, first come a few burps and then the hiccups are my cue that my meal is now over. My PA said "if you have a band, you're going to burp". Classy!! That will do wonders for my dating life. LOL

I breezed through my first fill and felt little to no restriction. Then came my 2nd fill 2 1/2 weeks ago. The fill itself was no problem, but getting used to the increased restriction has been a challenge! I'm really learning what this 'tool' is all about :drool: Many episodes of eating too quickly, too much, food that's too cold/solid, or eating when I am stressed have ended in burping, hicupping, hard painful stuck lump, and sliming like a St. Bernard dog for a 1/2 hour before PBing. It's been QUITE a learning curve for me, but I know each incident could be avoided if I follow the 'rules' of eating small bites slowly, CHEW CHEW CHEW, and stopping at the first signs of full. Oh, and not drinking for 30 minutes after a meal is not just because it will wash the food down more quickly - it's because you can clog up like a drain and the liquid just sits on top until you PB it out!!! I'm learning the hard way, but I wouldn't change this adventure for the world! I'm learning a much healthier eating style that will keep me at a healthier weight for life - and that is SO worth it!!! Hang in there everyone!!! :confused:

You took the words right out of my mouth, Mamadot - exactly what I am experiencing. I had no problems after my first fill, which caused me to be a bit lax on small bites, and mega chews (except for steak and calamari). So even though the nutritionist warned me that could change at any time, I was careless in following rules, experienced a few 'tight' incidents after my second fill. Realizing I could bear the discomfort, I continued not focusing when I eat, and this week I experienced my first PB experience after eating salad too quickly and with no dressing. That experience should have been enough to slow me down, but nooooooooo. After waiting about half hour, I woofed down some Pasta. An very painful double PB was the result. Hope I can learn from my mistakes, but sometimes I can be slow on the uptake.

It's so nice to know I'm not alone! I'm a bit slow on the uptake, too, :( but it is so comforting to hear others are experiencing the same things. Thanks so much for posting - we'll all get the hang of this 'tool' at some point. Have a great weekend, all!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
