terrified to eat!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! Sorry to bother you, but I had a question. I just got back from my doctor and she gave me another 0.6cc in my band (I have a LapBand APS 10cc band). I now have 7cc in my band. Before my third fill, I could still eat about a cup or maybe a little more of food per meal. I got some things stuck (bread, chicken) and as you all know, it wasnt fun! :crying:I'm not to eat solid foods till Monday, but I am afraid to eat. Will things start getting stuck left and right since there is so much more saline in my band? I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I'm just scared. :biggrin: Thanks for your time! Leeanne

I know how you feel, I have 7cc in a 9cc band and I get stuck all the time. I do think alot of it is my fault because I think I eat too fast or take bigger bites, I still haven't mastered that yet. Just start out slow and try one thing at a time to see how it goes. I was really scared too but what is really weird to me is that one day I can eat a slice of pizza or a piece of chicken and the next day I can't. I always try to stick to a Protein and vegetables for lunch and dinner so far that still goes down pretty good. :biggrin:

Thanks LPayton! The same things happen to me..one day I can eat something and the next day it gets stuck! I guess it's going to be trial and error! Good luck! :lol:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
