I got a fill on Thursday, 1cc. I really had lost a lot of restriction but it had been about 2 months since my last fill and I had only lost 3lbs. When I left the office on Thursday I drank some Water right away and it hurt and came back up. Me being the stubborn and stupid person that I am figured, oh well it will loosen up!! Ha ya right. Anyway it is now Sunday and I can't drink any liquids, tea water etc... I am able to eat a very small amount of mushies, but Fluid will not stay down at all. Has this every happened to anyone, it just seems like the fluid is so thin it comes back up. I did call the doctor on call today and he said to give it another 24-48 hours. My opinion is that he just doesn't want to have to come in for an unfill this holiday weeked. Any suggestions would be helpful cause I am THIRSTY!!!

My doctor's rule is to notify him if more than 8 or so hours elapse without the ability to drink Fluid.< /p>

Can you suck on ice chips to get any Fluid down?

Be aware of the symptoms of dehydration and be ready for a trip to the ER or urgent care if things don't improve.

Symptoms:

  • dizziness
  • headache
  • dark urine (may have a strong odor)
  • inability to urinate
  • dry mouth and nose
  • weakness
  • nausea and vomiting

Don't mess around with it. If you start feeling any of the above, either call your doctor back or go get some fluids put in!

      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.
