That is crazy. So you're doing better now?

I feel for you. That's a horrible feeling. I would stay in touch with you're doctor. You may need to have a little taken out.

If anyone in my life doubted that I haven't consumed more than a half bottle of water and half a protein shake in two days, there's my proof! 6.5 pounds in 2 days! I ended up throwing up the small amount of water that I sipped today so there was no other option but to get a little unfill. I feel so much better now! I've never enjoyed a bowl of soup more than this one right here.

I'm in the same boat. Had a fool yesterday and I could only consume a half bottle of water today and a half bottle of protein shake. Even a sip of water is painful. I talked to the doctor today. I'll give it another day or so and see if it gets better. If I were you I'd stick to liquids for a few days.

Wow okiekatt! So are you all good now? I was up till midnight last night extremely uncomfortable. I woke up feeling better as far as that heartburn feeling goes so that was a huge relief. However all I've been able to consume all day is half a bottle of Water and half a GNC Protein shake, and that's no exaggeration. I also kept getting crazy powerful hiccups. I updated the doctor today. If I'm still like this tomorrow I'll have no choice but to get some taken out. I surely don't need to be getting dehydrated. I sure was happy that I want hungry all day.

I went back to work after a week wearing my spanx. I would wear the high waist ones.

Oh I so hope you guys are right. Thank you!

Ok well I'm about 5 weeks post op and finally had my second fill today. It was horrible because he couldn't find the sweet spot and they had to use ultrasound. I felt like a damn pin cushion. We finally got it done though and I'm at about 4.5 right now. I felt good when I drank immediately after, though I could tell a difference. Now that I'm home I'm a little uncomfortable. I feel the tightness and I tried a few sips of a Protein shake for dinner but that's all I could take, about six sips. Then I got painful hiccups that took forever to go away. Now I'm afraid to consume anything. I guess I'll try again in the morning but I have an 8:15 business meeting that I can't be hiccuping in. Did any of you have some issues after a fill that got better after a day or so? I really don't want to go back and have him dig around in my stomach with that needle again. It still hurts!

I'm almost two weeks post op and have gained a few pounds back...really sad about that. The hunger is back which is really hard to deal with after everything going so well at first. I understand the reasons for this, but it's still tough. I'm eating very little but I guess not little enough. I'm hoping he'll give me a fill today since I'm feeling and healing great.

Maddy, I didn't think of it that way. I guess if I knew this was normal I'd feel better, and it sounds like you're saying it is.

Well this Wednesday I'll be two weeks post op. I lost 13 pounds in the week after surgery but as son as i went on to mushy food that stopped. I'm no longer feeling restriction (I guess the swelling has gone down) and I've actually gained two pounds! How can this be? Can I only lose weight on liquids? Am I that cursed? The first few days I was eating chicken salad and i think that was a bad choice so I'm sticking to chicken baked at home now bit come on, gaining???

To each his own. I don't know what I'd do without them. Good point Carrie!

I think they are. Just look at the chart and make sure you get the right size for your height and weight. They're not just for overweight people either. Celebrities swear by them.

Yes like a girdle but better. They breathe because they're thinner but they hold you in so much better. They have countless different styles...even clothes. Pricey but awesome.

They can be a woman's best friend . You wear them under your clothes and they can make you look a dress size smaller, clothes fit more comfortably and smooth out unsightly bumps and lumps. I think the website is spanx.com. I get them at Lane Bryant.
