Am I too tight???



Recommended Posts

I had my 4th fill on Dec. 15th, I am up to 6.66cc's. Well since then I am able to keep down drinks but certain times of the day I can't keep down the food, now my stomach is so sore and not sure if its from all the vomiting. I am able to eat about a half a cup of food and then if I do one more bite its up in the bathroom for me. I am not sure if I am too tight or maybe not chewing good enough or small enough bites. Anyone have this problem before?

it could be that you are too filled. i do know that my body tells me that if i take one more bite i'll throw up. can you NOT take that one more bite and see what happens?

after you have an episode of throwing up, you should do liquids for a day or mushie foods to give your stomach a chance to heal from the vomiting.

It sounds like you're a little too tight. Even a .2 reduction could make a big difference. I would suggest getting a slight unfill.

You sound like you need an unfill....I was that way for about a month and could not eat well and was getting stuck and throwing up at every meal....Please dont wait go see your doctor ASAP...Good Luck!

I agree with the above posts, get in to see your doctor asap. My doc is great about squeezing me in when I need an unfill. Tell them it's an emergency. It's not normal for solids to consistently come back up. don't worry about being hungry after an unfill. For me that never happened, the took a litte out and I was then at a good place in terms of hunger and food staying down. Good luck!

At this point, you're probably quite swollen so even chewing well and small bites may not be enough. If you can keep fluids and mushies down and are able to resist the solids, I'd go back to fluids and mushies for a week or two to let the swelling go down.

If you can't resist the solids, then I'd go for an unfill.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
