Making Weight Loss Surgery Affordable. Not good. We don't want the stitches around the band to be subject to such strain. Other times, a simple 'burp' occurs which brings back up the food which was stuck. This is not the usual vomiting as the only thing that comes up is the food that has not yet begun the digesting process and perhaps some slime. The key is to be aware of which foods to avoid, and to pay attention while you eat. Take small bites, chew well, and be very in tune with your body.
Your new feeling of being "full" is going to be that pressure behind the breastplate. Pushing more food down past that point is likely to end up with a BP episode. Breads the dough, no matter how well chewed, will glom together in gooey ball and can get stuck. Red meats and chicken cook these in crockpots so they are very tender and moist, and take very small bites, chewing well. Fiberous fruits and veggies, and skins potato skins, broccoli, pineapple , oranges, plum skins, grapes.
Everyone is different, so you will want to carefully test each of these foods. The more restriction you have, the more likely they are to be a problem. Thanks for answering so quick Susan. I just posted that. It was helpful. I think I can avoid that after first fill by eating slowly and chewing thoroughly? What do you think of the fact that I can eat almost as much as before? Is this normal until the first fill? By the way, congrats on your weight loss.
You're an inspiration. Typically after swelling goes down and prior to getting the first fill we are able to eat as we did before banding. The hunger could increase as well. The thing to remember is that this is not the time to be concerned about weight loss but rather about the healing process. Even though you can it doesn't mean you should. Putting stress on your pouch, the stitches around the band, your esophagus, etc can cause serious problems. Just approach each new food with caution and chew well.
Eat where you have few distractions. Be aware of any sign your body gives that you might be running into issues with the type of food you are eating, or even perhaps that you are full. I have been banded almost 8 months and have had a few occassions where I've experienced the golfball feeling but have never PB'd. Contrary to what many say, I don't think this is a necessary thing to go thru when banded. To me, its having a reasonable amount of restriction and eating carefully that eliminate that need.
Ok Ive got the PBing what about liquids Is it a hard transition to eat without drinking- unconciously I drink to wash down what Ive eaten!! Ive paid special attention lately in efforts to break this prior to surgery! What I do is cook the chicken in a broth so the meat is very moist already. I would think that trying to get dry meat down with liquids could backfire on you.
Say the meat gets stuck, and then you try to wash it down with liquids. Well, the Fluid could possibly force the meat into a tighter situation or it could flush it through. Either way its going to be very painful. Not including liquids with my meals has been one of the hardest things for me to do. I'll tell you one thing though Your banded belly will shrink like a guy diving into a cold pool, if you get my meaning.
