Where am I?

Was banded on 6/14 and had my 3rd fill today. I go in every 2 weeks. Not sure how much Fluid was added today but I had to sip Water very slowly after my fill. My Dr. likes you to be on liquids for a day and then on to mushies after a fill. So. . today I just did liquids. I was able to drink a Protein Shake when I got home. . and later a 16 oz bottle of water. Nothing came back up and all was well. Later this evening, I had about 1 cup of Tomato Soup (made w/water) and geez-o. . slim-o-rama! :smile2: I didn't vomit, but slimed for about 40 min. I'm wondering if I ate it too fast, or perhaps I'm overfilled? I have no problem going back and getting an unfill...I'm just not sure if this is normal. Perhaps I should wait a day or two. .. eat much slower (I'm used to being able to shovel). Any thoughts or words of wisdom? Thanks!!

How have things been going since then? I would say get some of that fill taken out. What did you end up doing?

Hi Annie,

Well, I just went back to the dr. today. It's gotten a little better. I felt like the nurse wasn't really listening to me and just rushed me through the appointment. Hindsight..I would have stayed and MADE her answer my questions but I just sat there like a passive bump on a log. So..my plan is to really be cautious of how fast I'm eating and how well I'm chewing (which is never enough!). If that doesn't work..I'm going back for an unfill. Sliming everyday is NOO good. Thanks for asking!

Sun-

I always experience some swelling with fills and it can take me 2 weeks to see where I really am. I would take it slow and if you are unable to keep liquids down I would definitely get an unfill. Otherwise I would just be very careful for the next few days. My doc advises several days of liquids - so maybe that would be easier for a few days and slowly ease into mushies then solids after that.

Hope you are doing okay!
