swelling with fills

[Time2BHealthy 1]

I recently had my third fill. The first few days after I follow the liquids, mushies, etc rule. It is really hard to get liquids down the 2nd day still. Warm foods are easier than cold drinks. Is it true that your stomach swells after a fill? I was told that but find it hard to believe just half a cc could do that.

It's been true for me with all of my fills- I feel tighter the few days after the fill, then by 2 weeks out it's "loosned" up a lot.

I agree with Rachel. My swelling can get bad for the first two weeks.

I too had my third fill Friday. I left for the beach Saturday expecting to be able to eat some fish by Sunday. I was wrong. Anything solid hurts going down. I can eat Soup and oatmeal. Can't eat anything hard even if I chew the heck out of it. I can tell it starting to get a little better today. I thought about getting a slight unfill but then told myself...this is why I did it. Greek yogurt, refried Beans and Protein Shakes for a couple of weeks and then I will decide.

I can barely keep Water down. I take a sip, fell I have to burp, and it comes right up! I'm hungry! This is ridiculous! I want to fast forward a couple days.

If you can't keep Water down you may be too tight. Get with your doctor if not better pronto!

I agree with the previous post.

Also we do 3 days liquid (NO EXCEPTION OR YOU COULD SWELL BACK UP.) 1 day mushies, and then try food.

It seems to work for a lot of us at the clinic. Otherwise to tight.

Give it a try the next time you get a fill.
