So, Umm what happened overnight?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so last night I went to bed and everything was fine. This morning I can barely swallow my spit. My dietician said I need to eat within 1 hour of waking up to jumpstart your body for losing weight. I tried to swallow some applesauce and was STUCK. The sliming started while I was driving!!! I really was starting to panic but I found a bag and pulled over on the side of the highway. It is 1pm here now about 6 hours later and I can still barely sip Water.

What happened to my band overnight? I was banded on 2/28 and dont have a fill appt until 4/28. Is this normal or should I call the office?

I would call the Dr's office. Something does not seem right that changed that drastically overnight with no fills. Some of us tighten during when it that "time of the month". But it sounds like it is way to tight. Call!

Really sounds like you are extremely swollen. Did you eat something or choke on something in the last day or so. I choked on a piece of turkey one time, and couldn't swallow nothing for about 36 hours. Called the Dr. and they told me it was from choking and vomitting so hard on that turkey....If you can sip h20,,,you are fine, especially if you have no pain. However, it doesn't cost you a thing to call and talk to the Dr. nurse for insight..........

Yeah as long as you can get down clear fluids you should be ok. They will probably tell you to go back to fluids for a day or 2. Could be anything but again as long as you can get down at least clear fluids. If you can't you need to call ASAP because that will only lead to an ER visit when you get dehydrated.

      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.

        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!
