Feeling like a clogged drain - only 3CCs



Recommended Posts

Is this normal? I take two bites and i have pain in my chest? Do you think 3 CCs was too much for a first fill? Can it really be the swelling 6 days later? I really hope that it's not always going to hurt when i eat. Have a follow up tomorrow, maybe i need 1 CC taken out? how many did you have in your first fill. is it suppose to hurt? please advise. :wub:

I also had my first fill 5days ago...3cc. However, I don't feel much restriction at all yet. I have lost another 3lbs since then, so it must be working?!

It may be too tight. I had the same problem, and I couldn't even get down fluids. I would definitely talk it over with your Dr and possibly have some removed for awhile, and maybe later you can have it put back in. Good luck.

My first fill I had 3cc's and didn't really feel much of anything. My ins. only covers a fill every six weeks so I have to wait. Going next week for the second fill and hoping that makes a difference. I know you are not supposed to get that pain after two or three bites though, sounds like you are overfilled. Sometimes I don't think I have any restriction and then I eat something and I do--it depends on what I'm eating.

You should definitely call your doctor though. Good luck

      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.
