I had my second fill on Tuesday. I did two days of all liquids

today I tried to eat 2 soy nuggets for lunch and I got a horrible feeling of acid and phlegm building in my stomach and then I started hiccuping and my lunch came back up:think

I cut everything into teeny tiny pieces and chewed very carefully. Also I felt very hungry physically. So I just don't get it.

Any advice I really don't want to lose my band :help:

Thanks

have you had trouble with anything else ? it could be the consitantcy of the nuggets or it could mean you are too tight ?

you said you felt very hungry , did you wait too long to eat ? maybe you ate faster than you thought you did ?

I eat faster than I should when i get hungry .

Your hunger might be head hunger. if your having problems with solids you need to call your doc you might be too tight. Also my doc recommends 24 hours of liquids after you PB .

Some things just aren't going to go down well. You'll have to experiment and find out what your limits are.

Thanks guys

last night I had a little tuna after my 48 hours of liquids was up and that stayed down well.

I know I was really hungry because my stomach was rumbling and I didn't have Breakfast this am

maybe it was just the texture of the soy

I just don't want thids to happen again ! :faint:

I agree...some things just don't agree with me. Especially if I'm overly hungry and eat too quickly. But, if you're brave enough I'd try it again some time. I've had trouble with food on the first try but been OK on the second. My example was with an apple...that darn thing made me feel so terrible but I tried again...chewing even more the next time and it was fine.

Also makes a difference what time of day you are eating. Sometimes I can barely eat anything before noon. My band feels like a vise. By dinnertime I feel like I can eat "a lot" (if I can get 3/4 of a cup of something down, that is a LOT). You've got to make sure the easy stuff is introduced when you are closed up and you can get more varied when you feel looser. It's trial and error. That's the big learning curve of the band. At 6 months I feel like I am just now starting to get a grasp on it.

Very true, Im pretty tight until about 1pm . After that I am fine. I can eat a lot more and i am more hungry in the evenings after about 9 . I stay up late usually until around 1 am . So i have been working on going to be at around 11 so that i dont have to fight the urge to eat.

I agree with the texture theory. I normally keep a bag of frozen meatballs in the fridge for a quick dinner for me.. I bought a generic brand last time we ran out because it's all I saw. The ones I now have, have a very spongey texture.. very squishy and not meaty. I PB on them everytime I try. And I've tried at the 'loose' times of my evening, and still PB. It's always very well chewed up pieces.. so I think it's just the texture.
