Why'd I just PB?



Recommended Posts

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 .

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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
