Hi, I had a fill on Wednesday, I am still on liquids. Try liquids for at least aday to calm your tube and tummy down. You may be a bit to filled. See what happens after the liquids for a day or so. If you still can't keep anything down, call your surgeon for a slight unfill! Good luck, Karen

Since you allready are bringing up whatever you eat, your swollen on top of the fill. Not Good !

So you should go back to liquids for about 3 days, then mushies for 2 days, then try food.

If you don't follow a plan, and you get stuck again. You have to start all over again from scratch.

That's the way we do it where I get my fills at.

Were you told by dr to do liquids after fill?

  1. I am always told 2 days of liquids then mushies then solids.
  2. If it doesn't work call dr for unfill

Do liquids for a few days but don't wait 3 weeks if you are not better!

Vomiting a lot! Can and from what I've read is the most common cause for your band to slip. I have read a lot about starting over after a fill for a few days to give band time to settle and decrease swelling.

      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.
