2nd fill - feeling weird



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 10/26/09 and first fill 91 days later (due to insurance regulations and my doctor). My first fill was just fine -got 5CC i felt weird on the day of and after that i was eating anything that i was just in smaller portions. I didn't get sick and nothing got stuck.

April 21st, I had another fill - and 5 days later I still can't eat! I had an addiitonal 3 cc put in and when looking on the ultra sound, the drink went down just fine - slow but fine.

I was on liquids only for the first day. The next day, per doctor's instructions, I had a liquid Breakfast and tried to have chicken salad for lunch and it just got stuck from the first bite. I try to eat something mushy and slowly everyday and it just gets stuck.

Finally, today i was able to eat yogurt and .5 banana with no problem. Decided to have sashimi for lunch (no rice)- had 2 small pieces and i have the stuck feeling again. and I am not throwing up but i keep sliming every minute or I slime. Sushi slime - EWWWWWW!!! lol

Doctor said to go back on Mushies and that it should pass in a week - but do you think that its overfilled???

I think that you'll be fine maybe some swelling still. I was exactly the same way after my first fill I could eat whatever I want but after my 2nd I haven't been able to eat any bread and even chicken and meats give me a hard time. I had to learn what works for me now and what don't. If you don't see improvement then I would go back to the doctors office. I heard of people not even being able to hold down liquids.< /p>

You Dr has a weird regime. Making you wait so long for a fill and then putting so much in at one time.

Most Dr's require mushies for a couple of days after a fill and getting back to solids slowly. I think you may have tried to eat solid food too quickly and chicken salad is commonly a food that causes problems anyway.

Try going back to liquids then mushies and if you are still having problems with those then go back to see your Dr.

You may be fine - you may be overfilled. 3cc in one go especially when you already have 5cc is a lot.

If you do happen to start eating a little too early, and you get stuck, you really need to go back to liquids for at least 12 hours. If you don't and you stay swollen, you set up a chain reaction. Then nothing will work. Try liquids for at least 12 hours, then mushies for a day, then carefully start food a little at a time. Remember small bites, the size of a small ice cube like you get at the convenience store. Don't forget to chew chew chew. You will loosen up in a couple weeks so I hope it all goes well..... Hugs!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
