hi guys, I am just now adjusting to my second fill. I really am having a hard time with learning to chew my darn food.
It seems like Im getting that burning uncomfortable feeling with EVERY MEAL.
i dont know if that means im too tight, because it eventually does pass through - but then if thats the case, what is FULL?
example.. it seems like if i do chew things up, i can eat as much as i want because its going through... if i dont chew things well, then i get the burning action and feel like i should stop eating.
this is so bizarre. I dont think ive ever felt my top pouch feel full, but i do get that that golf ball! I can still eat WAY too much.. however, still am capable of getting golf balls.. BIZARRE
last night, i was starving and decided to eat a piece of deli turkey, it got stuck, and i kept spitting and spitting and spitting, and it was so uncomfortable. this was lasting for an hour. I had to make myself PB..
it doesnt happen naturally for me, i can just be uncomfortable for hours.
so then, i kinda gagged and got a bit of froth to come up, still it doesnt go down.
so then... i drank some Water and it finally went down.. whew, so then later.. my esophogas felt soo swollen. i mean aggitated.
im really trying to figure out.. what is NORMAL.
does the band work like this: you have to chew chew chew so you dont get pain, and then you just tired of chewing and stop eating because eating is not pleasurable?
or does it work like this: you chew well, and eventually get a full feeling and then stop no golfballs.
