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.

      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.
