Had A Bad Lap Band Restriction Yesterday

Things have been going very well since I got the timer

Am eating slow and small amounts and except for thanksgiving I have been real good with no major problems

Well yesterday afternoon I was eating my lunch late around 3pm , I had a drinkable yogurt and a few pieces of Roast Beef left over from the weekend. I had no problem with the meat on sun night but yesterday …after a few very small very tiny bites I started to feel the pain in my chest

I immediately stopped eating but it was too late…it took almost 2 hours to clear and finally ended up throwing up a little….i was scared and mad at myself for doing such a dumb thing …but the worst part was that I was at work…went through all of my emergency tissues then keep running to the bathroom because I couldn’t stop the phlegm afterwards my throat hurt and it still does a little …

This is the part of the band that I hate

Seems like fresh cooked meat works better with the band than refrigerated leftovers do. I thing the fibers stiffen during the intervening time. Don't blame yourself, just be extra careful with left over meat. Hang in there.

mabye all the leftovers should go to the dog instead of me in the future

it's just kind of anoying to be 46 and relearning how to eat

Happened to me the other night. I think I ate too fast and wham it got me. Was in real discomfort for about 4 hours. Had to relieve myself a few times to get relief. I also hate this about the band.....but I guess thats why it works. CAT

Thank God I have only been stuck twice, and each episode has only lasted for a few minutes *knocking on every piece of wood I can reach* Both times it was on a pepper biscuit (they're like Italian pretzels, I love them). Last night I swallowed a bite and I knew it was too big the second it went down...what a horrible feeling! Definitely a reminder to be more careful!
