Help! I'm suddenly too tight...



Recommended Posts

On Tuesday I got a tiny fill of .2 cc's. I stayed on liquids and then mushies and then on Friday I tried real food. I had no problems. Yesterday I ate real food and even ate out at supper with no problems.

This morning I drank my coffee and took my meds- 9 pills total- no problem. Then at noon I tried to eat some Greek Yogurt. I ate it slowly. It took almost 40 minutes to finish it and it got stuck. I threw it up. Now when I drink I can feel my liquids trickling down and If I take a big drink rather than a sip it feels like it's going to come back up. I burp a lot and then it will finally go down.

What's the deal? I swallowed my pills this morning with no issues so what's going on now?

Is it possible I irritated my band by swallowing the pills? They were all small except for 2 and those 2 were gelcaps.

If you got stuck, it couldbe you stomach swelled some. Stick to liquids for the rest of the day, and you can try taking some children's motrin for the sweeling. Peronally, I uually get stuck on yogurt. One of those things that stumps me, but whether I'm loose or tight, it just doesn't go down.

I'm hungry so I just tried a few spoonfuls of chicken and stars Soup. I stayed away from the chicken and just ate the mushy stuff-pasta and carrots.

After 5 bites I got that stuck pain in my chest and it all came back up:(

I'm going to try some liquid Motrin and make some warm tea and see how that goes.

I guess maybe one of my pills was stuck and I just didn't realize it. I started drinking warm tea and by the third cup I was feeling much better and everything I drink goes down just fine now. I've never had that happen before, ever.

That's good. It's a really crappy feeling when liquids don't want to stay down. I try to sip at times like that, they stay down better. I'm glad you're feeling better!!!

      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!
