full feeling after fills



Recommended Posts

i need some help!! I got my second fill on Thursday - so now I'm at 7 cc's. Ever since then I've felt constantly full but I haven't eaten much solids - mostly yogurt, tea, etc. How do I know if I've gotten myself clogged up? I'm not throwing up or anything - just constant fullness. if this is what I'm supposed to feel that's fine. I'm just scared I clogged it and don't know it.

Any info you guys can give is greatly appreciated!!

:unsure:

You might be a tiny bit overfilled...stay on liquids and mushies for a few day then try a small amount (2-3 bites) of well chewed Protein. If you are still having the same feelings get an appt for a small unfill of 0.25-0.5ml. Let us know how you do.

Mimi gave good advice- don't push solids at this point. Stick to Soups and mushies and Protein shakes. You aren't 'clogged' because if you were stuck believe me you would DEFINITELY know it! Take small bites of food and chew it until it's like baby food. You are probably swollen too.

If you can't eat solids after a few days call your doctor. My last fill was tight and still is-I can eat solids, but in very liited amounts and it takes me a while to finish.

Good luck!

I'm wondering the same thing, I just got a half a cc on wednesday, so now I'm at a total of 6cc or 7cc. I've been doing halfs because one of the fills I got was way too tight a few months ago. And now I'm wondering if mine is too since the last time I got a fill and this past week will make a full cc, I cant eat solids and liquids will be slightly hard to get down too, but they go down yet I have had this bubble feeling like a gas bubble since Thursday and it won't go away, it went away once because I kept forcing liquids down so I didn't get dehydrated or something but it came back later that night. It feels like I need to burp and I try but then it feels like vomit o.O.It makes sounds too ahh I've been only having liquids. I thought it was because my stomach was swollen. I forced myself to vomit (tha'ts not good, I know =/) today to see if it would help and it didnt. So should I wait it out and see if it goes away? Or should I just tell my doctor? I don't want to take it out because for once it's helping me to not eat so much and I'm actually losing weight again.

And Sorry for posting this on your thread, but if someone is has pretty much the same prob I am, I thought I'd add it =/

My doctor calls for full liquids for 24 hours and then mushies for 24 hours. Since today is only Sat I would not be on solids yet. Try mushies tomorrow and see how that goes.

      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.
