How often do you get your food stuck?



Recommended Posts

I am ready to tear out my hair. I am afraid to get another fill, because food sticks regularly. I do everything I am told to do. Today my tuna ( no bread) got stuck. I have heard about a first bite syndrome, where things get stuck at first, then it's fine. Sometimes a few days will go by and nothing gets stuck, and then all of a sudden, everything I try to eat gets stuck.<br /> <br /> <br /> The worse part of this whole thing is I am not losing weight. I exercise, don't drink with meals, count calories yada yada yada. I am going next Monday to have a resting metobolic test taken. <br /> <br /> Like I said, I am really afraid to get another fill with the way food gets stuck, but I am sick to death of not losing.<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/help.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Help" smilieid="256" class="inlineimg" />

Really stuck as in sliming stuck, not very often but I am paranoid about it happening. Like I'm on teaching rounds at the moment, and I just though it would be just my luck to have a major episode in a staffroom full of people I dont know. So I took Soup for lunch and I barely ate that. If in doubt I just dont eat. So I think its probably happened as rarely as it has becuase I"m super duper careful about it.

A bit uncomfortable stuck, I get that quite a lot, I do tend to suffer from first bite syndrome. But its nothing I cant fix just by putting down the fork for 5 minutes, nobody I was eating with would know it was happening.

PBing type stuck, twice in 18 months.

If I was having problems with food sticking there is no way on earth I'd have another fill. I just couldnt live with eating always being difficult. But that's just me.

Really

A bit uncomfortable stuck, I get that quite a lot, I do tend to suffer from first bite syndrome. But its nothing I cant fix just by putting down the fork for 5 minutes, nobody I was eating with would know it was happening.

Do you know why that first bite syndrome happens? It makes no sense to me.

Tonight I ate the two things I couldn't eat yesterday because they got stuck. Tonight I ate them with no problem. I wish I could make sense out of this band!

The band is very random. Yesterday I ate 1 bite of food because the one time I tried to eat, I ended up sliming over it. Of course, I also drank 1 drink of Protein shake because later in the day when I tried to drink one, I slimed over it too. Today I had some lobster bisque, white chicken meat with buffalo sauce, and chicken salad pan fried (faux melt) with a bit of cheddar on top, and pepperoni chips with cottage cheese.

Oh, and 8 out of 10 days I have first bite syndrome until 6 or 7 at night, and then I'm wide open.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
