help/worried



Recommended Posts

so... i had a fill yesterday. i wan 5.0 on a 10.cc band and now i am up to 6.0.

yesterday, i had a fruit smothie hours afters the fill. it took me like 2-3 hours to finish the 16 oz smoothie. after that at night i made a clear chicken Soup with some veggies, and i ate that.it didnt take me as long as the smoothie, but it wasnt easy to eat it either.

today... i'va had 2 strawberries that i ended up trowing up... so am i too tight!? i am worried it might be too tight! but see at 5.0 i was eating pretty much like i didnt have a band... soooo i dont understand. maybe i am just swollen and it should get better in a couple of days? please help!

thank you :biggrin:

Go back to liquids for 2 days and then softs or mushies for 2 days...your stomach needs time to adjust to the change...if at that time you are still experiencing problems call your surgeon and ask for their advice.

You'll be fine as long as you can drink at least 64 ounces of Water a day and get some nutrients down.

My last fill took a few days to get used to but after a week I was back to normal.

As 4my4 said, keep it soft or liquids only for a couple of days until any possible swelling goes down.

If you still have issues on Monday or are frightened, call your surgeon and get his advice.

thank you for replying.

i just got back from the doctor, i called because i took a sip of milk and that didn't go through, and Water was not going through so much.... so i called, they worried, and made me go.

i lost 3 lbs between yesterday and today... which for me is great! lol, but my doctor was worried, truth is after my fell yesterday morning and today i didn't get any food, and not even a cup of water, so he took .5 out, now i am on 5.5 and hopefully this works this time... i want to have restriction, but i guess 6 is too much for me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
