Ove what will help until I can got to dr



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I just got a 7 cc fill in a 10 band and was happy that I can finally feel it...but, it is so tight...chicken got stuck last night and threw up. I was literally up all night. I called dr. And he saw me today I was expecting an unfit but don't want to start gaining, I am able to get fluids Down ate crackers, broth, and bowl of ice cream today. So when I get to office he said he doesn't think I need an unfit I was feeling better when I was there...now I am home and drank a Protein Shake for dinner 2 pieces of cheese and now feel very tight and am so wishing I would have let him take some Fluid out...I have to wait until tues now....ughhhh

Any ideas of what to do until then?

If this is a good fill why am I still hungry yet so tight

I am about ready to go to er do those drs know how to take fluid out

Please please respond...thanks and best of luck to all

I had a fill 2 Tuesdays ago & was miserable, regurgitation after everything. My dr says fluids for 7 days after a fill. so not even purred food! Drink cold cold things, & slowly. Your stomache swells after you throw up, making it harder to keep stuff down. Small sips of Water all throughout your day so you don't get dehydrated. Trust me, your body will adjust in a week, & you can start eating mushy foods. But thus is where you want to be. no portions over a small plate. Lose the appetite girly, this is where you want to be!!

7 days of liquids after a fill seems a bit extreme to me, but you always want to listen to your dr. You also need to take into account that if you do get stuck, you will have some swelling which will make you tighter. Personally, I have to do 2-3 days of liquids after a fill, but that's my own choice. My Dr says only 24 hours, but my stomache is pretty sensitive, and I'm more comfortable with closer to 3 days. When was your fill? I also can't do extremely cold liquids. They will not go down the week after a fill. i do better with room temperature, cool, or warm, but not cold. Make sure you're trying to get your Protein and fluids in, when you're dehydrated you get tighter also.

      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.
