It's officially been three weeks since banding. I have had no fills yet. I have felt some restriction, as it's the smallest band they make that I have inside me. Fine. I've been eating mushies, and had no problem. Yesterday I had scrambled eggs, with half a slice of cheese. Yumm! Today, I tried to eat the same thing, and two bites in, it absolutely stopped, and I ended up sliming for about half an hour.

Later, hours later, I tried some cheese ravioli. Again, two bites in, (and being very very very careful about chewing thoroughly, and waiting a while between bites.) it all stopped again. And again, more sliming...(in fact I took a break in the middle of typing this to go do that some more).

Today, it seems, all I can tolerate is liquid.

Any idea why that would be the case?

:confused2:

This happend to me on Sunday. I will be 4 weeks post op tomorrow. I have been doing just fine on liquids and mushies. Sunday I tried an egg with cheese as well and that was it. Took two bites and it was like it would not go down.

I did not do any slimming, I stopped eating for the remainder of the day. I only had liquids. The next day I only had liquids also. I felt really full and heavy in the stomach are so I decided I may be constipated.

Took a laxative and yes, I needed that but still dont feel quite right. Dont have the heavy feeling in my stomach but still feel a little queasy and not sure why.

Hang in there.

Today I managed to eat a 3 oz tuna steak, bbq'd....and 2 oz of fried potatoes. I had to stop in the middle, and take an hour long break, but went back and finished it after that. No pb'ing, and no sliming. And OH MAN! Talk about delicious! :cool2:

      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.

        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.

      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!
