3rd Fill - 5cc What up with this? HELP

[Nana1963 0]

Hi Folks! I have a question. I had a fill Friday. Third one. I now have 5cc. I can eat yogurt fine. However, if I eat anything with consistancey I can fill it go through the band and it hurts. Does the fill take a few days to get used to? Am I too tight. Before the fill I could it anything I wanted witht he occasional PB. Is this restriction? HELP PLEASE

Does it hurt as it passes through the band, but you feel it go through and then you're fine? I've always been able to feel everything I swallow so I learned pretty quickly that big bites or badly chewed bites hurt going down. Try making sure you're chewing well and taking time in between bites.

If it's bit stretchy/achy it's probably normal, if it HURTS then you're too tight. Even a fill of .1cc will help.

Fill number 3 did the same thing to me. I figured out I was still taking too big of bites, not chewing enough and not waiting between bites. It was a total change! I have since gotten used to it. Try cutting things up into pea sized bites, chew it until it is liquified and wait a minute between bites. Hopefully that will help. My doc says solids after 48 hrs. but I know all docs are different.

Thanks so much. I will try that. I tried refried Beans tonight and could only mange about 4 bites.
