2ND FILL ~ Possible over fill?????



Recommended Posts

I got my second fill yesterday. I assumed it would be a lot like my first ~ nothing ~ but I was wrong. I am sticking with the Soups and soft food but I have to take it REAL SLOW!!! I get a pain in my chest area and feel like I need to strech out and let it go down. I am not sure if this is normal ~ just me having to learn how, what, why and when of the eating pattern or did I possibly get too much this fill. On my first fill, I got 1cc and I think it was 1.5 cc yesterday. Just wondering if anyone else has felt like this. I have not had any episodes of vomitting thus far in my journey and would think that if I had to much in my band, this would be an immediate action. I do not even feel like I need to vomit, just a pain that resembles indigestion. Any feed back would be welcomed!!

It's kinda hard to tell this soon after a fill, especially you are are just having pain and not "throwing up" After my 2nd fill I had that same pain but I gave it a little bit and realized I was eating way to fast. Even though it seemed slow compared to my old eating habits it still wasn't slow enough for me. Even after I moved on to solid foods I was having a hard time and thats when I started PBing and sliming. I was still eating to fast and not chewing well at all. It took me a bit to get the hang of it.

Are you really paying attention to how fast you are eating and drinking? Are you laying your fork/spoon down after each bite? Try that. If no luck don't hesitate to call your Dr and see what they think.

A fill can take up to 1 week to feel the full affect so If you can stay with liquids for 1-2 days then mushies 1-2 days and then try solids....if after that you still have a hard time eating and drinking and it includes throwing up, sliming or PB'ing then I would consider and unfil...Good Luck

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
