Not New To This...



Recommended Posts

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...

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

      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!
