New to site Fill question



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 11/18/09 and had my first fill on Tuesday the 29th. I got 4cc's. Since then, I have not been able to keep anything down. The day of the fill I was ok. I could drink just fine. My doc has me on 2 days of liquid and 2 days of puree then onto soft foods after a fill , so I didn't have a problem at the time. Well, since then I have been unable to keep anything down. I have been very burpy evertime I try to eat or drink and most of the time I my burbyness is a prelude to throwing up.

When I am not trying to eat or drink I am fine. I have had no issues with my saliva going down.

Does this mean I need to have some Fluid removed or am I experiencing swelling related to the fill? And will it get better in a few dasy after the swelling goes down? I really have no idea and of course we are on a holiday weekend so my doc isn't around.

Any ideas??????:biggrin:

You could still be swollen or you may be too tight - can't you call your doc's exchange and get some taken out...

I'm lucky I have my doc's cell # in case of an emergency

If you can't drink - then I would call immediately - you have to be able to drink liquids. If you can't call first thing tomorrow.. Pbing isn't good for your band..

Stick w/liquids till you get a hold of your doc..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
