Problems with first fill



Recommended Posts

Hi All.

I had my first fill today a month after surgery. 4 cc's.

I ate lunch (can of tuna mushed and with mayo) about an hour and a half before that and felt fine.

About an hour after the fill i had a small sip of Water.< /p>

It's now 5 hours later and can't stop throwing up.

Too big of a fill? Does it have anything to do with the fact that I ate before that?

Should I be concerned or will it just pass overnight?

Thanx.

Hi

Ouch, sounds nasty. Were you not told to stay on fluids for two days after your fill? I just got my first fill, 3 cc, and was told to stay on liquids all that day then non-chunky, mushy stuff the next day. Maybe you just took it too fast. Hope everything works out. Always call your Dr. if things are feeling right.

Good luck.

You are supposed to be on liquids after a fill for at least a day. If you are stuck, or are in pain, go back to liquids for at least 12 hours. Your fill will settle down with time and will be ok. Hang in there and it will work its self out!!! I often don't know I am stuck until later. Sometimes after a whole night. It will be a learning experience!! It will be ok, trust in the process!! 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.
