Am I Too Full?



Recommended Posts

So I had a fill yesterday. I was at 1.5cc in my 10cc and band and she added 1cc. Yesterday I was on liquids and today I am on mushies. Today the mushies are hurting me. I get a pain in my chest and my throat starts gargling and my mouth fills with saliva. I do not get the urge to throw up but it does hurt. Could this just be that my stomach is swollen from the fill or should I get and have them take some out? How many days should I wait to find out if this stops?

Swollen, yes, probably. Remember to sip your mushies and take small bites of food once you're able to. Call your Dr if you're concerned?

I got 3.5cc's on Monday and less than 24 hours later I was back getting some taken out. I had the same symptoms as you described. If you are uncomfortable just sipping, you are likely too tight. I felt instant relief when he removed .5cc. Hang in there!

My doctor says 24 hours full liquids then 24 hours mushies. Did you move to mushies before 24 hours? I would say if by day 3 you can't eat 3 oz of mushie Protein you are to tight.

I went to my Dr and got 3/4 of a cc taken out because I tried 1 bite of a piece of chicken and thought I was gonna die. She said my stomach was probably just extra swollen and next time I will need to stay on liquids for 2 days then mushies another 2 days instead of 1 and 1.

My surgeon's ofc recommends 2 days clear and 2 days full liquids for fills and unfills. ( i usually don't do 2 days clear for unfills).

Be careful because you are likely swollen. Best wishes, Karen

      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.
