So, I'm coming up on my one year bandiversary in a few weeks, so I am not new to this. I've lost 81lbs that I am very proud of. =) For the last few days I have been getting stuck every single meal. I try veggies, fruit, protein, salad, soup even! Nothing wants to go down. So, I got desperate and tried something last night that I NEVER eat. Pizza. Of course it goes down quite easily and I am able to sleep after getting a little food in me. I wake up feeling very yucky this morning, of course, and the problem starts all over again. Oatmeal: stuck. Eggs: stuck. Chicken: stuck. A friend goes to McDonalds for lunch, which I also NEVER eat, and I ask him to get me a cheeseburger. I have finished about half and my body is happy that I have food in me, but I still feel very yucky. I haven't had the problem of getting stuck in forever. Not at all since my last fill, which was over 2 months ago. Even then, if something felt like it might I know to slow down and chew more, etc. I can usually catch it before it happens. These last 2 days have been horrible. I don't know what to do...

go to dr, ask for small unfill?

Time to see you dr and discuss with him/her your options. Maybe you need a a little Fluid removed. Maybe there is a more serious problem. Do not wait...call and get some relief!!

Although I will add... My band hate grease. I used to be able to eat a 1/4 pounder w cheese, fries, a cheeseburger and large soda. Yikes...I don't think I have ever written that before.... Anyway hubby was craving McDonalds and I hadbone bite of his cheeseburger and wanted to throw up. The grease just sat in my stomach and I didn't want to eat the rest of the day. Not that is your problem but just trying to eliminate any potential problems....

I'm in the same boat as you, but I think it's because of the weather change. In in Maryland, and fall has started. I think the cooler temperatures are the culprit. I'm just taking it a lot slower, following the rules a little more closely (chewing, pausing between bites). So far, so good. Good luck to you too!

Sometimes are bands will act strangely. I agree, see your surgeon, you may have had a slip. Sounds like slider foods are okay with you, for awhile. Maybe you have a gall bladder problem, if you still have yours. I have read(not from my personal experience), that after a great weight loss, gall bladders act up. if yours is, hat would be the reason for the discomfort after eating greasy food. Ay any rate, call your surgeon's ofc, ASAP. Best wishes, Karen
