Super tight



Recommended Posts

Just curious - I had my last fill on 9.11 and have been eating fine - last night i overate but not too severely but today I woke up so tight my chest hurt a little - haven't really been that tight before. Tried drinking tang, coffee and yogurt drink and all came up. I seem to be able to keep my saliva down but still haven't drank anything and its noon. Should I just stay off everything liquid and solid until dinner - or is this something to be concerned about?

You need to stay hydrated, so don't give up the liquids. Sip instead of gulp, and choose warm instead of cold.

I would not be concerned unless it lasts more than a couple of days, or if you find that you cannot swallow Water.< /span>

Not to get too personal, but is it close to or at that time of month? I know when I get my period, I get so tight that I am relagated to almost nothing but liquids for about 3-4 days. Once my period is over, things go back to normal again.

It was actually the end of my period but I am really wondering if I'm suppossed to be tighter? Other than that day I never felt the tightness of my band physically (like tight in my chest) and I can pretty much guzzle Water and drinks. When i was super tight i could feel tightness in my chest and could only drink sips of Water out of a spoon - granted this wasn't good it was because i was so swollen but i'm just wondering now - if that's why i'm not losing - i'm still not tight enough. I can't eat much during day but late afternnon/evening i can get a lot in /down.

I just bought two weeks of medifast diet food and am hoping the band will help me stick to this new diet and i can get a few lbs off.

Sounds to me like your fill was too tight, I know when I got my fill they

flouroscoped me and when I swallowed the chalky stuff it wouldn't go down all the way, they said it was too much and took some back out.

I only have 1:6cc but think I could have used more, cause I need another

now.

      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!
