Am I Too Filled????

[muffin56 0]

HI!! I had a fill on May 1st and seemed as tho all was going well.... Then on May 11th I slept in front of the AC and developed a sore throat...from that point on I have had a few issues with food...I seem to be having trouble with major heartburn and I cant seem to eat much at all...I am by no means hungry which is good...but could the sore throat have caused swelling and the band to get too tight..?? I also seem to notice my scales are going up ...should i go back on liquids a few days?? call the dr and see if they can remove some fluid...before the fill i was eating larger meals and getting hungry...I a confused now..today i had a low blood sugar soooo i had a cup of OJ with my Protein Powder mixed in skim milk..i tried meatloaf for dinner and no luck there a cpl bites i couldnt do it i am now trying and i say TRYING to do a yogurt....any suggestions will be greatly appreciated....thansk so much ....would my band have tightened after 2 weeks of being ok??? i was thinking maybe liquids for a few days??? then gradually add reg stuff ???? thanks for any input......muffin

I think that you should call your doctor and let them know wats going on... also stay on liquids for a couple of days

I agree that liquids for a few days just may calm things down...but call them if you can't tolerate fluids.

I would call anyway, because a small unfill will help you get over it faster...that is the beauty of the band, it is adjustable and you can get your fill back!!!

i sometimes think i am overfilled. but the alternative is not so good. i'd rather feel this way then to have to rely on my self control to manage my intake.. a little tightness isn't that awful.. some food goes down better than others. later in the day is better than early morning. standing up helps food get unstuck...walking around a little.. i have 20 more pounds to lose.. I'm ok with being a little uncomfortable now and then... i figure its the price to pay to lose the weight.. so I'm just going to deal with it.

Call dr. Beng over flled leads to bad complications.

Yes, it can take up to two weeks for a fill to take affect. I do think having a cold could make the band feel tighter. I would stay on liquids or mushies for a day or two. If you then try solid Proteins and can't get them down you are too tight.
