Fifth Fill and not doing well with liquid



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I hope someone out here can give me some good advice right now because I feel miserable. I went for my fifth fill today putting me at about 7.5 CC's. My last fill I could feel restriction for about two weeks and it let up a bit. I could still eat more than I wanted to. So, I go for my fill today (.75 CC's) and the nurse had to take out .25 CC's in order for me to get a sip of Water down. I leave the office and here comes all of this foamy stuff in my chest and throat. I have been spewing this all day long and still can't really drink much if anything. I called the Dr. office and they want me to wait a day to see if it improves due to the swelling my stomach has right now due to the fill. I just don't know what I can do to relieve my misery until tomorrow. I am tired of spitting!!! :) Any suggestions anyone???

I had a fill on thursday that 1cc, 2 weeks before that i had 2cc -- i went from 2cc to 5cc in 2weeks, it was a bit much but i had lost Fluid in dec at some point and i think my dr was trying to catch me up-

However i had a hard time with liquid for 2 days then they got better and i was able to add mushies, they were hard but then got better - today i was able to eat some chicken breast... i am VERY tight,, i feel it the minute i swallow but its getting looser .. id wait a few days and keep trying the liquid.

Make sure you're taking *tiny* sips of Water, but if you still are having trouble with Water tomorrow, I'd call them and get a slight unfill. They may not even need to take out more than .25cc...but you must be able to drink water. We can go a long time without food, but even a few days without water can lead to death. I think I read somewhere that 3 days without water and the body's organs start shutting down.

      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.
