I was banded on 12/5/08. so far i ve lost 24 lbs. Everything going good. I am hungry I do not get my first fill until 1/12/09. I am excercising, watching what i eat. Now i feel like When i eat 2 or 3 bites i get full or it feels like it is getting stuck. ON sat. I pb 2 times. now iam getting scarred .Do i have a slippage? I notice today when i take baby bites. Everything is fine. No pain anywhere.

I would definitely give your dr a call in the morning. Especially if you aren't feeling well.

Part of the reason you felt stuck could be the food you ate, eating too fast, or not chewing well. I try to evaluate those three things if I get stuck. That way I can learn from my mistake.

It is good to go slow and take it easy after you pb and get back on track! Hope this helps!

I agree with krtork as far as evaluating what you ate, how well did you chew and how fast you chewed.

If you don't have a fill yet and are only a month out, it could be that you just ate something you were not quite ready for . . . or ate fast or didn't chew enough on Saturday causing a pb.

When I pb, I have to go on liquids for at least the rest of the day and sometimes the next day as well. I get some stomach swelling after a pb that can keep me feeling sore and more likely to pb again if I don't take it easy.

Calling the doctor anytime you are uncomfortable is always a good thing. My suggestion on what to do in the mean time is to go back to liquids for a day or two, and then proceed back to your appropriate dietary stage carefully. This should help if you have any stomach swelling.

I guess I should have asked . . . what was it you ate when you had the first pb on Saturday? Do you think you could have eaten a little fast or not chewed enough?

The other things to consider, too, is when was the last time you ate before that? What time of the day was it? Were you under a lot of stress?

I have difficulty if I haven't eaten in more than 4 or 5 hours. I sometimes can eat a few bites then wait a bit....and I'm able to eat more again. Take it slowly. I find that I can eat if I am very consciously eating. In the meantime, wait until you're feeling better before trying food again! If you have a particularly difficult time, go back to liquids again for a few meals. I'm so tight in the morning that I can rarely eat solids--other than a bowl of cereal. I also struggle when I'm stressed or PMS'ing. Just some things to consider. Keep track of when you have issues so you can figure out your body and how you are affected by different events. Good luck. Feel better.

I agree with some of the other posts about maybe eating too fast or not chewing enough. It is strange that you are experiencing these things without any fills yet. Talk to your doc. BTW....what is pb? is that some reference to throwing up I'm not familiar....

I was banded on the 17th of December and today was the first day I got to eat solid foods. I came in about an hour after having dinner and there was part of a ground turkey patty just laying there begging me to eat it and I guess I fell into my old habits so I just ate it too fast and it got stuck. WTH it's the first day well anyway it was uncomfortable for a few minutes and I slimed a little but finally went down. Kind of scary but it taught me a good lesson. Chew Chew Chew. I feel like such a doof. :thumbup:
