i had a fill 2 days ago and after it i was fine. drinking Water and cup of coffee, i ate a hearty Soup. yesterday morning i was able to have a Protein shake and some other kinds of foods. but come 2pm i could not keep anything down. not even a 1/2 tablespoon of mashed potato's last night. i brought it up and was in pain for hours. this was a different kind of pain then the kind you have when you can not pass something. this morning, as a test, i took a sip of Water. i can not stop burping which is what happens when i can not pass something. this does not feel right.

Sounds like you have post-fill swelling. Mine often hits a day or two later, too.

If you're concerned, give your doctor a call. Mine encourages us to try to wait it out--as long as we're able to get fluids in.

I'd stick with fluids---and in tiny amounts. If you really have no success with that, then I would give the doc a call to see what s/he would like you to do.

thank you so much for replying. i am so scarred right now. i wish there was a chat room here where you can talk to people in real time. i am not even keeping Water down now. i am going to just show up at the dr's this morning and hope they can help me right away. Diana

I agree that is sounds like post-fill swelling. I've only recently gotten excellent restriction and after the fill that got me there I had a good amount of swelling for about 3 days. Although mine began almost immediately. I would still let your doc know just to be on the safe side. :w00t:

      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.
