Hello! I got a fill yesterday of 2cc, giving me a total of 4cc in a 10cc band. My docs orders are 1day liquids, 1day soft, then solids. I had my liquids yesterday just fine but could tell I was swollen. Today I fixed tuna and took a couple normal bites, and it hurt, so took a couple more very very miniscule bites, with about 2 minutes between, and it still hurt. Nothinh was stick our came back up but I am burping and hiccupping alot. So realizing that I can't do softs uet, I went and got a Protein Shake and it seems a little UN comfortable too. Am I just still swollen, or too tight? Im still waiting on call, From doc.

I think you're swollen...try another day of liquids and then try mushies again

You sound swollen, I would try a few days of liquids before I went to get a unfill. Good luck.

Try liquids for a bit longer and when you do soft try mushy rather than flaky.

Any time you cause yourself pain you need at least a day of liquids...tuna can be tricky for me unless it is loaded with mayo...

Thank you, I, am still only doing liquids. I tried mashed sweet potatoes last night and it, still, hurt. If I still hurt tomorrow i'm going to call doc again. Is this sometimes normal?

Girl i feel the same!!! I got another cc on Monday, bringing me to 5cc ( standard size band) and my dr said no solids till the wknd, just liquids. i nibbled on a corner of a cracker and was fine- but when i tried to make it soggy in my soup-no way! Give yourself a few more days of full liquids- maybe make a smoothie with your Protein to get some calories and stuff. It will get better each day- my husband ( an er/icu nurse) says he thinks im swollen.

Good luck mama, o and btw i want to eat up that dog of yours- OMG IS HE CUTE!! My 18mth old daughter immediately pointed to him and said "doggie" lol

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
