Am I to tight?? HELP



Recommended Posts

I got my second fill on Monday of this week and I would say that I now have restriction. My questions is that everytime I take a small drink I can feel the liquid going down. I am now not drinking as much liquid as I was previously because I can only take small sips. I just started on mushy food last night and nothing has gotten stuck, but I definetly have to eat very very slow and I can feel everything going down. I would not say it is necessarily painful but it does feel weird. Is this something that I just have to learn to live with??

It sounds like you have good restriction that you will learn to adapt to. If you start having problems in a few days when you go to solid food then you might need an unfill. Drinking and eating slowly is good.

Best wishes,

Mimi

Hey how's u? Well I'd say no I dnt think its too tight if food is still goin down ok. I just had my 5th fill today and so have 7ml in mine. I have the same sensation in the sense that I can not drink a lot even Water but yet can eat mushy foods ok. I think its the displacemnt of air/water in ur stomach that causes the problem wen drinking and. I would say not to worry unless u find u cnt swallow mushy foods either x

      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.
