Trouble Eating After Fill

[MindyLou82 0]

I just got my 3rd fill last Wednesday. I've been having trouble eating everything except mashed potatoes, popcicles and crackers since then. I keep thinking I need to wait it out to make sure it's not just inflammation or stress, before I go in to have Fluid taken out. Last time I had trouble eating for about 3 days or so, then I was fine. Does anyone else have this problem after fills? How long does it last with you? The good thing out of this is that I've lost 7lbs just since Wednesday.

On the third day I am to go back to solids. I think you are too full. Go back and have a slight unfill. There are a lot of people on this site who got their bands to full but liked the weight loss and kept it that way. Only problem is that it has led to the band slipping and having to be removed!

Okay, thank you! I've been worried about that since I haven't been able to keep anything down.

If you are not even able to keep down fluids go see your doc. right away. If fluids are staying down you might wait another day or 2. Your right it could be swelling. Don't wait too long, or your just suffering needlessly. I have been there, done that. When I finally did go in for an unfill I had decent restriction for a little while. Hope you feel better soon.

I am experiencing the exact same thing as you right now! Last Friday my doc gave me a .5cc fill, since then I have litterally ONLY been able to drink fluids, and I am lucky to keep even that down. I have been pbing often if I take too big of a drink, so I have only been sipping and cold/warm fluids do not make any difference for me. I too have lost 7 lbs because of it. Yes, its nice to be down that much so quickly, but I cannot live on broths so I am going in tomorrow for a slight unfill.
