I tried some cottage cheese for dinner.....

Two small bites in and it did not stay down

Sipping proten shake and it is gurgling as it goes down

I know I felt better the next day last time, I hope this is the case this time also.

Keep an eye on it...it may just be swelling. Small sips of the drinks and try again tomorrow.

My doctor also says that when I get a fill to do Clear Liquids for a day after, and then full liquids for a couple of days before going back to regular food. Of course I haven't experienced a fill yet, but I remember them telling me that in the office.

Don't wait too long to think about an unfill. When I was too tight I suffered much longer than neccessary thinking it was swelling. After an unfill, I had good restriction. I wouldn't give it more than about 3 days and see if your better.

3 days sounds about right-but do try to stay on liquids for a day and then slowly work your way into solids.

Hope you feel better soon.

FYI I had fill number two yesterday around 1PM. I drank Protein shakes after and had one small greek yogurt.

I will see how mushies go down today!

I hope that you are feeling better. Yes, you probably need to stay on liquids for a day or 2. My surgeon is very conservative and says 2 days clear and 2 days full liquids after a fill. I, usually, make it 3 1/2 days before I try anything with much consistancy to it.

Good luck, don't wait too long for an unfill, if needed. But, try to get by with liquids 1st. Good luck, Karen

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
