Fill Advice ...Please



Recommended Posts

Tuesday I had my 3rd fill bringing me to 7.0 in a 14.0 band.

I was able to drink the stuff they gave me at the doctors office and was able to drink Water and have some Soup that night.

On Wednesday morning I was able to drink water and had some more soup around lunch. Then I could not drink water and anything I tried to eat came back up. I slept fine all night but as of Thursday morning I am still throwing up even water.

Do you think I need a small unfill or am I just swollen? I know that I am really sensitive and I swelled really bad my first 2 fills.

Thanks

Personally, I think you need a small unfill. You probably are a little swollen but it really does sound like you are too tight.

Best of Luck

If you can't even keep Water down then you need to get an unfill... continue to throw up can cause you to slip

Our nutritionist said a cup of hot tea sometimes will help. I don't know how, but it's worth a try.

Thanks for the advice, I just went and had 1.0 taken out. I am enjoying a Protein shake as I type.

Thanks,

If you can't get liquids down then you should get a small unfill. But, if you can get your liquids down I would wait a few days until you can see if the swelling goes down.

      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.
