1ST FILL and FOAMY



Recommended Posts

Hello

I had surgery 8/2 Had my first fill yesterday. Nurse said doc put too much in and she took some out. My sip of Water finally came out of my throat and chest, I could feel it. Didnt eat prior to and now about 1 tbl spoon of anything gets foamy in my pouch and I am spitting up. I cant even suck on 1/3 of a popcycle that doesnt foam and then gurgle up to the back of my throat. I assume from fill conversations that I am swollen ? I cant even sip a tablespoon of water without foaming. My only concern at this point 8 hrs out from a fill is I need Hydration and a tblspoon of water ever hr is probably not going to be enough. I will wait for a couple of days. My doctor says mushy food, but I serisouly dont see how I can even do mushy if I cant get down a thumbdrop of water. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

If you can not even sip Water, you are too tight. Yes there is swelling but you should still be able to drink water

Thanks for your reply. I seem to be able to drink warm liquids without much problem of burpin up foam. Guess I will give the doc a call. I know I was definately too full yesterday after the first needle stick. Thanks so much. Will see how the day goes and what I can consume other than warm liquid.... (coffee) is working fine. . Took a sip of Water around 3:30 am and it kinda stuck and was burpy til about 4:45. I didnt sleep well.....

      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.
