Hi -

Was banded in October - all has been okay. Today at costco I sampled Macadaian encrusted mahi mahi...and it was HOT. I w/out thinking swallowed the whole thing. I felt a bit stuck but nothing that time didn't help. About an hour later I ate a small Peanut Butter cup...slimed it up. An hour later a Protein shake - couldn't finish it. Two hours later, I was hungry and ate a Fiber One bar...it was feeling VERY uncomfortable about 20 minutes after eating it. I have been sliming now for a couple of hours...did I just irritate it? Someone please tell me what is going on. I am freaking out!!!

TIA

I haven't gotten to the solid food stage yet, so I'm not sure. It could've been some of the crust on the fish. Maybe the nuts were kind of jagged and you just have some irritation. Hopefully it will be better very soon!

Hi:

I would give your pouch a rest by having liquids only today and then mushies only the next day and see if that takes care of it. If not, call your doctor.

I hope you feel better soon.

Hey Sandiego Mom - sorry about your discomfort - have been there. Don't know if its irritation or a little piece stuck - when it happened to me I was better the next day but I have been seeing info on papaya enzyme (supposed to really help if its a 'stuck' issue) - papaya is the worlds natural most strong tenderizer - helps break things down. (all good things come from Hawaii - right? :thumbdown:

if it's irritation - treat like was suggested above - (think post fill diet for 1-2 days)

If still not better - talk to your Dr - Hope you feel better soon!

The Fiber One bars make me feel very uncomfortable after eating one too. I was told by my doc not to eat anything with too much fiber.

Because the food sits in your stomach "pouch" right above the band where it's the most sensitive part of all your stomach you will have reactions to some foods you may not have ever had before.

SO I tried a lil experiment and ate another Fiber One Bar a week later and immediately had a bad reaction! ahaha The Pregresso Soups do the same thing to me as well. And I don't believe those have to do with fiber. But it's something in those Soups that gas me up big time!! Sorry if TMI!!

Just keep tabs on foods you eat. ;o)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
