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!!!

      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.
