first fill question



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I was banded 6/23/11. I just got my first fill friday 9/9/11. I have lost 28 lbs so far. Since my fill I am not having any trouble eating, I feel like nothing is getting stuck as ppl say, not having the sliming or pb but I do have a constant knot feeling in my throat. Even hours after I eat. Now the PA told me I could have pressure in my esophogus so I am assuming that this feeling is totally normal. I am not having any pain or trouble otherwise just this annoying feeling like something is in my throat. Did liquids friday, and saturday and today am on softs. Am totally not hungry which is good because I was starving prior to the feel. I am having trouble getting Protein in today just because I have been a little worried about eating. Working night shift this week so when I got up around 330 pm I had pureed turkey 1/4 cup and 1/4 c of mashed potatoes. the turkey was moist and I took small bites and chewed. No problems other than this feeling. It is now 2 am and I am still not hungry but know I have to eat so I am going to make oatmeal with added protein powder... Is this feeling I am having normal and will it always be there or is it because I am still "healing" from the fill? I have a realize band and she said she put in 5 cc because the line wasn't primed... Just curious thanks for you help.

Although we all could tell you what it possibly could be I think these questions are for your doctor. You are not guaranteed to get a proper answer here but only opinions of what it could be. If you are having pressure or discomfort you should call your doctor.

so this feeling went away after I ate my oatmeal... I guess I will just monitor it and take it from there.

      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.
