Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

A VERY strange (possibly offensive) question. ***read at your own risk...***



Recommended Posts

Okay, well, I'm almost done losing all my weight... I lost 65 and I look and feel great.

Here's the thing. I've let all the saline leak out of my band (I don't need it, the band is PLENTY of restriction for me... I'm one of the lucky few)... not a lot gets stuck, and I can't eat a lot in one sitting, either. It's nice.... like...

...I can't eat bread, Pasta, carrots or... ummm... well, when my fiancee and I are... physical... orally... and I... swallow... it gets stuck a little bit and I have to drink pineapple juice afterwards and work through it. What the heck is this?? It's freaking weird and a little gross!

(by the way... just so no one thinks I'm a slut... that's as far as I go until we're married, so, I'm not that bad.)

Don't judge, just tell me if it's ever happened to you and/or what the heck??!?

ok first of all, maybe i'm a little liberal on the topic, but i dont think there is anyone on this board that would call you a slut for the activities you described! a) he is your fiance, and :) in this day and age, people are doing a lot more than that with their boyfriends and no one is saying they're doing something wrong! there are some other threads on here where people discuss this, i suggest reading those. i think they are in "the powder room" forum.

a few other women have experienced this problem after banding. i say keep doing what you are doing, but if you don't want to experience the pain afterwards then simply don't swallow? you can always talk to your doctor (or even the nutritionist!) about this, they are professionals and there to help you.

i tried to keep this PG :grouphug: good luck, and good job with all your weight loss so far!

I just think, just in case, you know, research ever proved it dangerous, that it is probably better to never ever do it again.

That's what I told DH anyway.

And I told him, that after so long it may also be dangerous to HIS band - I mean he might pop something, lol.

      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!

      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!!
