Yesterday I had two soft-boiled eggs for breakfast (hungry after my workout!) and some chicken for lunch. Plus some unauthorized chocolate items during the day.
When I sat down last night for dinner, I took one bite and was completely uncomfortable. My band had snapped shut again. I even had to pour my glass of wine back into the bottle because I couldn't have more than a sip. Two hours later, I was still wondering if I'd get sick, but I never did.
I figured it was temporary and I'd take it easy this morning. So I had a few small sips of my hot tea and proceeded to throw them up an hour later (making my second-grader late for school - didn't even try to explain that one to the office).
Not being able to eat for a day or so isn't the worst, but this throwing up thin liquids is so strange, and it freaks me out. I don't really know what to think about it - just a couple days ago I was wondering if I should go for a fill, but then decided to hold off because I have a lot of travel coming up and I don't want to get stuck somewhere far from my doctor's office. Now I guess I have my answer for sure - no fill needed here.
I've had a couple tiny bites of very thin soup in the last 20 minutes. We'll see how this goes.
3.15 pm update: Got some soup down. Still feels tight but it seems like it's getting better. Not a lot of fun, though; my stomach has been grumbly all day.
Sounds horrible, hope that its just irritated and loosens up for you.
ReplyDeleteLove your new photo!
Scary. I hope you can drink something soon. I wonder if that particular workout might have caused some swelling?
ReplyDeletewow that really sucks! I hope things get better for you soon :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new photo!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have that extreme tightness with my band but I just baby it a little by drinking really really slow and usually it will open back up within a few hours. Good luck!
Love your photo!!! I have no advice as I am just now feeling some restriction but make sure you are feeling okay before you take off on your travels.
ReplyDeleteWeird! Could it be stress? Or TOM?
ReplyDeleteI hope it resolves for you without having to get an unfill. It's so weird, isn't it? My hormones completely control my band. Good to know where I am in my cycle, but it sucks, too!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Take it easy and try to stay hydrated (hard I know when you can't get water down!) I swear my band is rebelling against me right now, super tight too!
ReplyDeleteI hope this works itself out for you. Sounds miserable!
ReplyDeleteThat is really tight! I hope it settles down for you. It took about a week after my second fill before i was able to handle solids well.
ReplyDeleteI have not yet experience any type of tightness at this level. Thanks for sharing your experiences so I know what I may expect one day. Hang in there...

Cuuuute photo!
ReplyDeleteYou poor girlie - your pendulum does swing, doesn't it?
that is the worst when you are actually hungry and can't get a dang thing down!!
ReplyDeletei agree w jenny...maybe the yoga made you a little swollen
I think I'm going to try some yoga. I know the grass is always greener, but I'd really like to be tight for a bit. Maybe I could finally get out of the 240s.
ReplyDeleteSorry Kristin, this sounds horrible. I really hope it was some kind of hormonal or exercise-induced fluke.
ReplyDeletemmm,unauthorized chocolate, the best kind.
ReplyDeleteSorry not allot of fun being had here recently. Hope it does get better day by day.
Oh, and yes, I guess my starting to do yoga may help my breathing :-)
