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

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
