Ok, I had a fill on Tuesday afternoon (3/2). He put in 2CCs (as opposed to 1CC from previous fill). I have been on liquids and today was supposed to be mushies. However, I tried this a.m. to take one bite of watery oatmeal and got stuck. It finally went down after a minute or so, but it was painful. I tried yogurt but it does not go down well either. I can drink small sips so I know I won't get dehydrated. I have been sipping all day. Am I too tight? Should I have a little removed? I have only had my band since October and have never had a 'stuck' episode. I do not know if I should give it a few more days or not.

I just got my first fill - 3cc and I feel the exact same way! Even Protein shake is too thick!

Looking forward the replies you get!

If you can get enough liquids in you to stay hydrated, I would hold off for a few days to see if things loosen up as swelling goes down.

I completely agree, if you can stand it, I would give it atleast a week! I thought I was WAY too tight with my last fill but toughed it out and I think I found my sweet spot:) hang in there!

I was bandedon on 11/25/09 and I just had my 3rd fill on Feb.18th. I felt the same way u do, it hurt so bad to eat just yogurt or broth (it felt like someone was cutting my insides when I tried to eat). I called my Doc. and he said to give it a few more days, and he was right, I feel great. He said I might be really swollen with this fill. Good luck I hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies. It is a little better today. I have been able to eat mushies if I do it extremely slowly.

      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.
