Is anyone else salt sensitive? Since my last fill I am unable to eat things such as bleu cheese, olives, pickles, etc.

I am a little worried that I may be too tight as I seem to have trouble after almost every meal, but I am not sure if I am eating too fast, my bites are too big or if I am eating the wrong things.

It seems that I am always pointed in the right direction after I come on here, so I thought it may be worth a try.

I'm not salt sensitive but my body doesn't like cheese too much yet. I miss it too.

If I eat fast or don't chew well, I'm in trouble. The pain is terrible. Slow down, chew, & take smaller bites.

What do you mean by salt sensitive?

Is it possible that you are dehydrated? If you don't drink enough liquids it can cause the band to get tighter.

If you are able to drink with no problem and you can eat, some stuff, then you will probably be OK. Drink warm Decaf liquids and be sure the hydrate as often as you can and things may ease up for you.

When I say salt sensitive I mean that I have issues getting salty items down such as pickles, cheese, etc.

Hmm, I haven't heard that one before. I can eat all those things, but these bands all have a mind of their own. ha ha

I still think drinking more may help, since salt is the problem, I can't help but wonder if it is indeed a hydration issue.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
