need advice

[flowerchild 0]

I am going to get my first fill Tuesday and I have really been paying attention this week to my eating to see if I need one. I am not full with a cup of food. I try to stop but could eat more. I am getting hungry about 2 hours after I eat, however when I eat I keep getting that stuck feeling in my chest and this foamy stuff comes up in my throat. Is this sliming? The food hasn't come back up and it passes after a few minutes. So do I need a fill or not? I havn't lost any weight in a couple of weeks. I want a fill so I am not eating as much and feel full but I don't want to start throwing up and have problems either. Am I just eating too fast and not chewing well enough? Has anyone else experienced this?

the foaming is more like a PB.. sliming is the saliva type stuff that comes up into your mouth that is produced to ease a "stuck" down through the band. this would usually happen to me when i eat too fast. if you are not getting full on less food, you probably need a fill, but, really start to eat slower or the PB'ing will get worse!

It seems I have read a few posts like yours where we question ourselves just before the first fill. I did as well. Then two days before my fill, I felt like I could eat the moon. When you go to the doctor, tell them exactly what is happening to you. They may talk to you about what you are eating when you are eating it, etc. and help you figure out why this is happening. (Knock on wood) so far I have not had any of that. It could be something you are doing during your day that you can change to help that. You and your surgeon can then determine whether or not you need a fill.

Don't worry you will get there. I had to have a lot of fills, but I am finally there. So I am sure it will happen. And yes it does sound like you need a fill. :smile2: Good luck!
