Ok I have lost 101 lbs in 10 months!!! YEA:thumbup: But I didn't think I had good restriction. Boy was I wrong!! I got only .30 of a fill and I have been burping and hiccuping every since 1:30 pm today. After trying to eat 5 spoons of Soup. I will call my doctor in the morning if I can make it through the night. I am miserable.

Thanks and good luck on your life time journey:) I have a feeling he put air in my band. That's why I think I have so much discomfort. I have had about 8 fills and 1 unfill and never felt like this. Even when I was too tight.

Peaches I am so impressed with your weight loss success! You are certainly an inspiration to me:tt1:

I am also very sorry that you are having such a difficult time with your last fill. I have had a hard time with my last 3 or 4 fills. I have some pain, sliming, foaming and can't even drink anything without it causing more foaming...then I have to make some of it come up..not really vomiting just like a foaming pb!:drool:

Anyway, my surgeon has told me that this happens because the fill puts pressure on the vagus nerve that runs by the spot where the band is. It is the nerve that lets us know we are full. Luckily, he also told me that the nerve will calm down in about 24 hours and he is right!! That is the good news:smile2:, the bad news is that you have to deal with the yuckie part for most of those hours. No sleep to speak of until the nerve settles down.:smile:

I don't know if this is what has happened to you, but you might ask your doctor about it.

Hang in there and please let us know what your doctor thinks happened.

All the best to you.

Hopefully, by the time you read this, the swelling will have calmed down a little bit and you'll be feeling like, "Oh, yeah---this is better!"

If not, and you can't keep liquids down, call the doc sooner rather than later!

Thanks! I think what worked best for me was Portion Control. Only eat 3 meals a day and no Snacks. I do workout about 4 times a week and 2 times with a personal trainer for the loose skin. It's helping a lot. Good luck with your journey:)

I love my band:thumbup:

Feeling so much better!! I did go in today and the doctor took out some of the fill. Which wasn't much to begin with but too much for me I guess. He did agree that I got some air in my band or he said it could have just been a nerve that was causing the reaction I was having. Still have very little,but much better!!! It is so weird cause everyone is so much different, I don't have 5cc in and I guess I'm at my spot. Something must be right though cause I am losing weight:) Lost 3 more pounds overnight:thumbup:

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
