Recommended Posts

I had a fill on the 24th bringing me to 4cc - went back to weeks late to make sure all 4cc was there because they thought i might have a leak, at the time they added anothe 1cc bringing me to 5 that was on the 4th. since then i have been having a hell of a hard time - liquids are find if taken slowley - smooth Soups like tomatoe are ok -

anything solid resulst in pain, pb'ing a few instances of vomiting.

I dont know if i am too tight, eating to fast or too much -

I am full on 3 oz of yogurt - just not sure whether to call for an unfill or not.

help please..i feel horrible

Whillow, having been where you are, I sympathize. Listen to your body, "I feel horrible" says call for a small unfill. Even .1cc or .25cc can make a tremendous difference. We are supposed to have real food without feeling bad. Best wishes and good luck.

I agree. I had a fill that was too tight and ended up prolapsing my band. throwing up is your body's way of letting you know something is not right!

It's been eight days. That's quite a while. You may need to call your doctor and get that "slight unfill" everyone talks about. Best wishes!!!

      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.
