Ok I was filled again last wk wed and since then I can barley eat. I was throwing up a lot becuase things kept getting stuck. Then I realized I was eating too fast and needing to chew more, but it takes me about an hr to finish eating a meal. I have been throwing up almost everytime I eat. I don't think I have been practicing the chewing too well or eating too fast. I don't know I think I may need to be unfilled a lil what do you think. I said I was gonna wait a few days and see how things go before going back to clinic. Since last wk I have lost 5lbs

I'm going through the same thing. I got another fill this past Thursday and I'm trying to wait it out. I've been able to drink Water, Protein shakes, and very little Soup so I guess it's ok for now. When I've tried other things I've vomitted.

I'll be waiting to hear others responses.

Yeah I have tried other things that were ok when I chew well and eat really slow, but im afraid of chicken, and bread. I had crab and spinach this wk end and it went down fine. I see im am to take small sips now of Water. I was taking gulps and it would feel like it was getting stuck.

I had this happened in my last fill and yes I was too tight. I lost 18 lbs. in a month, which for me it's a lot. The doctor unfill a little bit and I was fine for the first three weeks but for some reason this weekend I wasn't able to eat again. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow so I'm definitly going to have him unfill just a "tiny" more. It can be unconfortable at times. Hang in there.

I had the same thing happen to me. I had a fill on Thursday and had trouble ever since. For the first time ever, I threw up and had troubles w. yogurt and shakes. I gave it four days to let the swelling go down and it was just getting worse. I went in today for a slight unfill (.4ccs removed) and I feel tremendously better. My doctor told me that I did the right thing. Four days of being that tight is enough. More often than not, band issues start with people being too tight for too long. Ultimately, mistaking tightness and pain w/ restriction. Be careful and listen to your body.

Best,

Lauren

      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.
