Got stuck! Back to basics...



Recommended Posts

I had my 2nd fill last Friday. I have 8 cc in a 14cc APL band. During this whole process, I seemed to do quite well. I could eat anything, bread included and nothing bothered me.

This morning I woke up and during Breakfast I got stuck. (I started feeling fuller and fuller yesterday and remember during my 1st fill, my doc told me that it could take a few days after your fill for you to feel restriction.)

I guess I thought I was invincible, that I would never get stuck, never have a PB or slime, etc.

Well today was a wake up call for me. Back to the basics now...

I finally had a PB and it came up, but boy was I miserable! I think I learned my lesson...

alot of people can't eat breakfast like normal. I can't eat anything till at least 9am. If i do, it comes right back up.

WOW that brought back memories of two weeks ago when I had my first "stuck". I found out fast what slime and PB'ing meant!! lol :mellow: If it happens again I think I am going on liquids for the rest of my life!!

I don't know if you ever saw the movie The Excorsist, but I suddenly felt like that famous scene with the green (pea soup) slime! :blink: It took over my body and scared the bejeeeeezs out of me! I stayed on anything without lumps in it for a week.

Yeah, my doc's assistant told us: "once your feet hit the floor in the morning, get something to drink."

Makes it easier for breakfast to go down (and everything else- I try to get my 60 oz's of Water in by 2pm and have little trouble the rest of the day).

      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.
