horrible event...

so the day started off tight to begin with... while I was driving this morning to work I was sipping on flavored propel water...when suddenly I felt that stuck feeling...yes on liquid! this lasted about 15 mins...painful and very uncomfortable. I could not understand why I was feeling that...when I got into work I realized it was because I was stuck from the night before. I ate stupid dole pineapple chunks... and def. had one of those chunks in my throat all night needless to say, it showed up the next morning... that was horrible. So.. thinking that I would be all better, I went to grab a cup of coffee from across the street deli from work, while I was there I thought Hey! that chocolate covered biscotti looks awesome! Let me have one! Bad idea, managed to throw that up shortly after eating it...then I decided eating today was a bad thing, so I waited a few hours, and then while my students were eating their lunch I got jealous and ate a couple bites of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...yum it went down fine, and I ate it happy that I could finally eat something again... well, an hour later, I was then driving home from work and trying my best to avoid pulling over and puke my guts out on the street... it was absolutely horrible and scary. I had to pull over and vomit, it was enough to the point I felt dizzy... gezz I really hate when that happens. I guess Im feeling slightly deprived of food these days...I almost feel like I need to devour everything in front of me, but I know I can't. Now I've been drink liquids all nite, trying to calm my stomach and let any swelling go down best I can... right now sometimes the liquids wont go down right. *Quick question the more you lose weight, does the tighter your band feel? Im now down to 138lbs...nearly a size 6 jeans!

My understanding is that the more weight you lose the looser your band gets which is why the need for fills. The stomach has fat in it too, as you lose, your stomach loses and the band loosens.

When was your last fill? Are you within 2 weeks of it? If so you may just be feeling the effects of it... Orrrr the acid from that pineapple inflamed your stoma and esophagus and that's what caused today's issue. If it keeps up check in with your dr.
