Fill question..is this normal?...Help?



Recommended Posts

I had my 2nd fill 3 days ago. I stayed on the liquids for a day and then slowly am trying to add soft foods. I can eat an entire yogurt, no problem . Earlier today I had a protien shake and could only drink about 3 ounces. I figured maybe I was still full from the yogurt (2.5 hours before)Tonight I tried to eat some scrambled eggs and got about 3 very small bites down, I felt horrible, it felt like something was stuck, then some came back up. I am wondering if I am too full, did I eat the wrong thing, did I eat too fast? or maybe I just need to take more time with the liquids. Is this normal? Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

It's only been a few days, you may still have some swelling from the fill. Maybe try going back to mushies for a day or 2, then start with solids again slowly and chew, chew, chew very small bites. It's a whole new way of eating your food with the band. I'm still learning every day. Some days are better than others. Yesterday I was able to eat Ok - no pain, small amounts....but today has been very difficult - a lot of pain on VERY little food.....Each day is a little different and for me, I just take each day at a time. I'm praying for a good day tomorrow, cause I'm hungry!

Also, make sure you're able to get your Water in or call your doctor because you can get dehydrated very quickly and if you PB it's important to do liquids the rest of the day and sometimes even the next day to allow the swelling to go down from being irritated.

Good luck in finding what works for you!

eggs are very touchy for some bandsters. A lot of people just can't eat them without getting stuck. I learned the best way for me to eat eggs is to fry them easy over, then cut them up with the runny yolk coating them. I don't have a problem this way.

Thanks you guys. I have loosened up a bit. I think that I will get wait a bit for eggs. I guess this is a learning process throughout the entire time.

      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.
