I was eating my lunch and I felt the tightness in the back of my throat..waited a little and then took a sip of Water...I could feel it just sitting there...actually intensified the pain a bit...not fun..

Well, anyway...I bent over to pick up one of the THOUSANDS of toys on the floor and the Water rushed back into my throat and a little of it got into my mouth..

Ok...yes, that was gross...but it was also really kind of cool. Like an anatomy lesson.

Has this happened to you???

Not with banding, although its been close, lol. Drinking while eating doesnt in general bother me and I do it, but if I"m the least bit blocked I cant.

But I lived with that daily for the last 5 months of my third pregnancy. I threw up in the clean washing once when I bent over the pick up the basket.

My first 2 pregnancies were fine, I'm nice and tall so no huge cumbersome stomach, no stretchmarks, push out a baby in 40 minutes! Easy. But the third, ugh. She was breech and lodged in my chest more so than my abdominal cavity. I didnt need any maternity clothes till after 30 weeks, my stomach stayed flat (well as flat as a stomach is for a 100kg person!). But the reflux, heartburn and inabilty to breath was simply awful, I had to sleep sitting up and if I bent over I threw up.

And eating wise it was EXACTLY what being banded was like, get hungry, eat half a cup of food and be stuffed. I lost 10kg over that pregnancy.

Hasn't happened but I can't drink if my band is stopped up. If I do, I get this moment of "uh oh" tingly feeling, like the odd nothingness sort of tingle you get in the split second between when you stub your toe, and when the pain kicks in. No pain yet, but you know you're in for some badness.

Then the pain kicks in.

Maybe next time I should just bend over and see if I can get it to flow back into my mouth. That would be preferrable to the pain++.

I wonder if Water that has sat on top of esophogeal food takes on any of the flavor...

Hasn't happened yet, but with today's fill I am tighter than I have ever been. Trying to drink water, and maybe I won't bend over. I can barely swallow spit at the moment.

It happened to me one awhile ago. I was spacing out and for a moment forgot i had a lap-band and drank juice really fast even though i was kinda "stuck". I PB'ed so much juice, burped, i don't know it was so nasty i thought my stomach blew up.

Needless to say i don't space out anymore when i drink :o

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
