I got my second fill on Tues, 4 days ago, & I still can't keep solid food down. I can't even keep luch meat down, even if I chew it forever! I am super hungry but the second I try to eat I'm throwing up forever... Do u think I nedd a unfill, minf u my doc is 2 and a half hrs away, or should I give it some more time? My doc only does fills on tuesdays so if I don't go this tues I'll have to wait a week longer. It's nice to finally have some.restriction but I also would like to get more than 500 cal in a day. It's hard to have energy to work out!

I think you are too tight for sure. I have been tight, and hesitated to go to the doc. because I though it might be swelling. Every time I ended up getting an unfill. I suffered longer than necessary. After the unfill I had pretty good restriction. I would call for an appt. monday morning. Tell them it's an emergency if they give you any trouble with fitting you in. My doc.'s office was really good about that. The doc even came in from the hospital on a day he's usually not in the office. Hope you feel better soon!

You definitely sound too tight. I'd call Monday and make an appt. for Tuesday, you can always cancel it if you wake up Tues. morning and seem looser.

You're definitely too tight! I was too tight and waited 2 weeks for things to settle down and was throwing up all of the time. I went in for an unfill and still was throwing up, finally went in and had a complete unfill and I'm still throwing up. They think I slipped my band with all of the throwing up! Now I am scheduled for an upper GI to confirm it and I'm on liquids until further notice. My suggestion is put yourself on liquids and avoid throwing up! Call your doc on Monday!

I'm in the same boat, my fill was wednesday. I was pretty good until yesterday. I had ham for lunch and then some Tomato. The tomato made my stomach acidy. I'm trying prilosec first seeing I didn't have a problem at first. Im not hungry at all and only threw up today when tried to eat yogurt while still sort of stuck. Protien shakes go down fine so I'm not starving.

You may be too full or you be just swollen. I would stop eating solids for now and get on liquids/protein shakes. Get your appointment scheduled for Tuesday!!!!!

I stuck to Soup & yogurt for the past 24 hrs & a lil bit ago I was able to slowly eat 2 pieces of lunch meat :) I work nights so I'm going to wait until I wake up & see how things r going down. I know if I call tues I will be able to get in. Thanks for all the advice I appriciate it greatly.

      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.
