Am I to tight?? Got 6 fill on April 15th



Recommended Posts

Hello bandsters.. I received my 6th fill on April 15th exactly two weeks to date.. I'm able to drink Protein shakes, Water anything and eat all soft foods. But for some reason I've been having a hard time getting down meats? I had a hot dog and bun last night and I vomitted about 8 times and I could see the pieces of hot dog coming out. (Boy was I scared of band slipage). This has been the worst eposide since getting this fill.. I did try some chicken nuggetts for lunch and they came back up also.. But only twice did I vomit... Last week I was able to some roast and a chicken quesidilla without problem.. Do you all think I'm just tighter this week? or do you think I need a slight unfill? or am I not chewing well enough? Tell me what you think. Thank you

Try taking tiny bites and chewing them like crazy. And I would try and stay away from the bread. It might not have been the hot dog that did it. It could very well have been the bun.

Thanks, I'm going to take that advice.. stay away from the breads I do find that if it's toasted I'm fine.

      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.
