What is going on??



Recommended Posts

:smile2:

O.K. so here is my situation. I was banded back in March. I have been getting my fills and then had one that was way to tight. They have loosened it and I was going good for a couple of weeks. Well the last week or so I have started to have this hot feeling in the back of my throat. and I burp all the time. I also feel like someone is squeezing the inside of my chest. I read one post that some people feel their band get tighter when then are on there period. Don't know if that is true. Is it? I am worried to call the doctor because I am afraid the will want to take more out and then I won't be losing weight. Any suggestions on what to do or what might be causing this?

Thanks

Speaking from someone who has slipped her band TWICE , GET TO THE DOC. It sounds like your having some reflux possibly .

Look at it this way , what is better , stalling on the weight loss for a while or risking losing your band becasue its slipped ?

Dont wait . I cant stress this enough . If your too tight YOU HAVE TO GO In, your doc is there for a reason . And in actuality you can STOP losing because your not getting in enough calories from being too tight.

GO TO THE DOC

      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.
