Hello,

Just wondering if it is normal to be 8 weeks pregnant and only be able to fit in a mouthful of food per sitting and having that get stuck? My food is getting stuck after 1 mouthful (no matter how much i chew it) It will then either pass or i will vomit it back up :mad2: I have boooked in a partial unfill next tuesday but i dont know if i can last that long without being able to eat anything witout it getting stuck.

Does your stomach swell or something when you get pregant?

Any help would be great! Im feeling very very washed out now from the lack of food over the past week.:eek:

My unbanded friend who had issues eatting was told to try to get her calories in by drinking. I passed on some protein drinks and carnation instant breakfast to her. You should try that in the mean time.

I am almost 10 weeks pregnant (sunday) and I haven't had any issues with food getting stuck..I drink lots of water before I eat and it seems to so called lube my band up so I have no issues getting anything down..I am probably not going to get unfilled but I say if you can't keep anything down you def need to get unfilled some...I would get some protein drinks like Mariposa said and try to keep those down...good luck and congrats!!

I'm almost 6 weeks preggers and from the moment I conceived, I have been getting stuck. Nothing would go down. My surgeon has already unfilled me completely. I haven't had any morning sickness and if I still don't at my second trimester, he will start filling me up again.

I had the same problem. Right away I was getting reflux and hardly could eat anything without getting stuck. I had a complete unfill which took care of both problems.

I think there's a HUGE range of normal and you just have to go with your symptoms. Hopefully by now you're able to eat something. You may need an unfill, you may not. Totally depends on the person, but don't be afraid of the unfill. It doesn't HAVE to mean massive weight gain.

Good luck!
