Pain when eating and how do I know when I'm full??



Recommended Posts

I'm so confused:( I got a .2 cc fill last Tuesday. I did great until Sunday and something got partially stuck- It happened after taking my medications so I'm assuming it was one of my pills. Anyway I threw up everything I ate and drink for about 4 hours and then suddenly everything was fine and I was able to eat again.

For the past 2 days I've been fine with no vomiting but everything I eat hurts when it goes down. What gives? I can't even tell when I'm full anymore because everything hurts.

Should I go back to liquids for a few days and then slowly advance to solids and see if that helps? Is the pain because I'm too tight or just because I'm swollen or not chewing enough?

I eat a little, have pain, stop eating, then bam 2 hours later my stomach's growling and I'm starving again. But If I eat then I have pain everytime I swallow my food so I just stop. Now I'm just discouraged:(

After you had your fill did you follow the following diet:

2-3 days liquid diet

2-3 days blended diet

2-3 days soft diet

slowly try 1 new food at a time, dont drink 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after you eat.

Take very small bites about the size of chicken in chicken noodle Soup and chew it very good. 1 oz of food should take 10 minutes to eat.

Also did you talk to your doctor about the pain?

After my fill I did liquids for 24 hours then mushies for the next 24 and then solids. That's how my doc does things. I haven't called him about the pain yet because, and yes I know this is stupid, I'm afraid he'll want to unfill me and he'll take out too much. He already thinks I don't need to lose much more weight as it is.

I wonder if the pill that got stuck began to dissolve where it was stuck, and it irritated your stomach? I'd say go back to liquids AND call your doctor- I know you don't want an un-fill but you also don't want to regret any permanent damage you could have avoided, you know?

Called my doc today and he thinks my pill did get stuck on Sunday and it irritated my band. He put me on liquids for the next few days and then I get to slowly add solids back.

        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.

      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
