My First Lap Band Fill

[REDDGIRL1209 0]

Yesterday I had my first fill. My surgery date was October 12th I was originally scheduled on December 1st for my first fill. Because of the holidays they scheduled it yesterday. The problem I'm having is that I did not eat yesterday at all. Then I went on clear liqueds untill today. Since then I have been feeling nauseated and have no appetite. I did try to eat a peice of toast this morning and feel a little better. I have a problem eating three meals a day. I don't feel hungry and end up eating once a day but I include my shakes as well. Is it normal for me to feel nauseated after my fill? Please help?

You say you have a problem eating three meals a day? Was this prior to the fill? If so, did you tell your doc this? Why would he fill you if you were having a hard time eating before???

If not, it could just be swelling and as long as you cn get liquids down give it a few days to resolve.

I am not allowed to eat solids for 2 days after my fills... then mushie on the 3rd day. Maybe you tried to eat too soon and the swelling is what is making you feel uncomfortable.

I actually had a fill on Wed, I also, only have Clear Liquids for 2 days, a2 days of full liquids and then start regular meals. You may have tried to eat too soon. Try going back to liquids for a day or so. Karen

I had my 2nd fill today. And she told me twice - 2 days of liquids. 2 days of puree. I think you may have ate too soon.
