Ok...I need advice. Help. Ideas. You get the gist.....
The last 2 1/2 days I have been super tight again and after just Pbing my 1/2 cup of soup (chunky with vegies) now I am a little concerned. I am having no pain but definately discomfort after eating...you know it just feels like it is sitting there....
Here is what I have eaten:
Sunday:
cup of tea...this gurgles down very noisily
1 egg with milk and cheese (stuck and then pbed up some of another cup of tea)
1/2 cup of soup
2 rice crackers with cheese for dinner
then I had heaps of wine and 1 packet (about 250gm) of rice cake things - I was up till 2am doing an assignment)
Monday:
cup of tea x a few
around 11.30 had some miso soup but very slowly
12.45 full milk cappacino which toook ages to drink
3 pm 1 mini protein bar, 2 cups of cup a soup & rice and cracker (3 pk)
7 pm 2 dim sims (like a big dumpling but about 1/2 the size of an ipod touch or iphone) was very uncomfortable after this
More wine...why is wine no worries????
Today
cup of tea
1/2 cup of milk with protein powder mixed in
1/2 cup of soup...pbed 1/2 and now very uncomfortable
I do usually eat better than this by the way.
I am getting parnoid about what is going on...thinking bad stuff...could I just be tight??? I am not due for my (.) till next Tuesday (Tues today) so I don't think that is it because I usually get very hungry before it then it gets tight during.)
I also have a feeling of something at the base of my throat...weird hey...almost like a sore throat but not quite...although I have been a little winter cold like without full on symptoms this week???? Any ideas are most welcome....
By the way ...have anyone's menstrual cycles changed??? Mine were spot on regular and then last month it came 5 days earlier and towards the end sort of hung on a little...nothing bad and then I got the symptoms...AFTER my (.)...like sore boobs and a heavy feeling. However my band was spot on with the actual (.)
Ok enough of that for my 3 male followers who I sincerely apologise for traumatising with my last comparison photos in my undies....didn't think of it until I got a comment from them. Wonder what DH would say if he knew those were on the net...not as bad as Band Babe showing her 'china'...LOL ...not that you can see it though
Thanks for any advice you have....I want to avoid my Dr as it is a 2.5 hr round trip and with the kids sick, assignments due (yes started the other one) and tests to study for I don't really have the time.
I would have said no going on my other experiences of reflux it sort of more feel 'stuck' at the base of my throat where the collar bones come from but on the inside....if that makes sense. My reflux in the past has always been a burning feeling lower down in my chest. I suppose it could be??? What does reflux with a band feel like???? Hot drinks go down easier than cold...except the wine of course!!!
Great question.....thanks
****Ok...it feels like heartburn now....what does that mean...freaking out here...I love my band!!!!
Do you think the weird feeling in your throat could be reflux?
ReplyDeleteHmm this is a tricky one - seems like you really are super tight. Theres a lot of flu going around - maybe it IS that in your throat. At least your diet - as limited as it is - is good stuff - you're hitting the protein. Hopefully it will ward anything major off :) xx
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are really tight. I would try the protein challenge for a week and if you are still having problems go for a slight unfill. The challenge is 4 oz of meat and 1 oz of veggies twice a day. Watch that reflux, that causes band erosion.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Too tight. See the chart I posted yesterday with the yellow/green/red zone. You seem to have all red zone symtoms-reflux, poor eating (ie liquids/mushies). I was a bit surprised that two weeks after a fill I had much more restriction. I used to have reflux pre-band and although I sometimes had a burning pain, many times I would just have a cough after I ate and what felt like a lump under my breastbone. I think you should just call your doctor and discuss with them before you make the long trip. Good luck and feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the ladies...you sound a touch tight. I will tell you this: if I were experiencing what you are experiencing, I would grudgingly go for an unfill. Because I live in terror of stretching my pouch (which is more likely when you're too tight) and of erosion.
ReplyDeleteWine goes down easy because it is the drink of the gods and they WANT us to be able to have it, no matter what.
And OMG yes! My last 2 periods came on day 24 of my cycle! What the WHAT?? If that keeps happening, it will mean 2 extra periods per year! No fair!! Where is that wine??
I would really call the dr. If it were me I would go for an unfill. I know that we hate unfills, but living on a liquid diet not know if you'll PB/slime is no way to live your life! You don't have to have him/her take out a lot, maybe just a touch.
ReplyDeleteI hope you start feeling better!
When even your liquids gurgle down, you know you are too tight. Like Sandy Lee said, you are experiencing all the symptoms of being in the red zone. It may take just .1 or .2 ccs to come out before you feel instant relief.
