Do I need a fill



Recommended Posts

Ok pretty much I can eat anything never any problem until last night :cursing: I was eating and I got stuck, I had eaten this item before and got stuck, now could it be I just have a problem with this item or does it mean I still have restriction. I am confused on the restriction feeling.. Can someone explain?:thumbdown:

You probably have a problem with this particular item. I have a few that I avoid like the plague because I REALLY hate being stuck. breads are on that list, but I still get fills because it will help me control the quantity of foods that don't get stuck.

Jill, I agree with Marie, this particular food item is most likely just going to be a problem food for you that you may need to avoid. For instance, it doesn't matter how tight or loose my band is, I cannot eat any types of bread or corn.

If you are finding that you are able to eat larger quantities of food than previously and you are getting hungry between meals, then it probably is time for a fill.

You're probably experiencing a clumping episode where the small particles of food are bunching together at the stoma and the combined mass can't slide through. This happens with dry meat for me. Doesn't matter how much I chew that pork chop, the itty-bitty meat fibers are going to bunch up. The only remedy is to eat super slow or eat a bite of something else with this food to help lubricate the particles.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
