Should I skip fill?



Recommended Posts

I am do for another fill but since my last one only liquids go down. If I eat solids it has to be mush.

Otherwise it hurts.

So I am thinking I am finally at the perfect spot. I have lost 3 pounds in the past two weeks.

Do you think I sould pass on the fill that I am scheduled for tomorrow?

U are too tight. U need to be filling your pouch with solids. This will just lead to big problems, u can't use your band for that kind of restriction. Have about 1/2 of the amount of fill u just had removed. I was too tight and always getting stuck and I had .1 cc (yes that little bit) removed and I am PERFECT.

You need a slight unfill!

That's not perfect- keep your appointment and get a slight unfill instead of a fill.

Thank you. I will go and have some removed. I am getting enough Protein and calories. Keeping track of all of that.

I just have to chew a LOT more than usual if I even want solids. I just had a 1/2 cup of chili, still had to really chew.

I get full a lot faster than I did before my last fill. Which makes me feel good, but when something gets hung, it kills me.

Definitely get an unfill. Even 0.25 - 1.00 cc can make a HUGE difference.

Well, I went in yesterday and the doctor took a look. The barium flowed nicely and he said that he sees that it could be tightened a bit more. So he put in .30

He said that it is most likely from morning sinuses and that in the morning your stomach is sometimes swollen.

Since I am better in the afternoon.

Going to try it for a few days and go back if I need to.

      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.
