Hello- I read blogs on here all the time but have never posted any. I do have a few questions. Dec 15 I had my 3rd fill I am up to 4cc in a 5cc band. I cant even hold down pudding. Very frustrated that I throw up 3 t 4 times every time I try to put anything in my mouth. Christmas Eve I made the mistake of trying to eat 2 small chicken nuggets, I was in the bathroom the whole time every one else was opening presents. I know I probably have swelling from the fill but I just feel like I should be able to eat something!!! If anyonoe else has had these same issues and has any suggestions please let me know

If your fill was on 12/15 you should easily be able to eat solids. My doctor has me back on solids on the 3rd day. It sounds to me like you are too tight. pudding is a mushie so it should definatly be going down. If pudding wont go down than chicken is definatly not going to work.

ditto what the above posters wrote...you are too tight, and if you wait too long you are risking A. dehydration B. Erosion C. Slippage. ALL. BAD. and it all hurts like heck.

      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.
