What Happened To Me?



Recommended Posts

Hello, First of all let me apologize for bothering you guys with such a dumb question, but you guys are the only people aside from my surgeon that can help me.

I'm scheduled for my much needed 2nd fill on the 27th of this month (wow! next week!) ... anyway, lately I have been very very hungry, so hungry that I have caught myself not waiting long enough between bites (i know, bad gabbi!) ....

Today I was eating some Mini Swiss cheese & Turkey Squares, right after my last bite I started getting pain on the pit of my stomach, followed by a painful feeling of something moving "through"....???.... i could of sworn i even heard it (im not crazy! lol) .....im sorry it's just so hard to explain. It went away after 5 minutes...i have never experienced this and for that reason im super paranoid that something happened to my band *cries*.... could this of been my very 1st stuck episode? I have also been taking Miralax for the past 3 days..could it of been my intestines? once again sorry for the dumb question....but any tips, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I have not experienced pain the pit of my stomach. My two "stuck" episodes came from eating baby carrots two fast/not chewing well enough. Pain towards the back. VERY uncomfortalbe. I had no fills at that point. Have eaten carrots after 3 fills.

Sounds like a stuck episode that worked it's way through the band...That happens to me and yes I can feel it Move Through as far as hearing it it was probably gas escaping when the obstruction passed...Good luck and just remember eat slow and chew well...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
