I am not sure if I am in the green zone or too tight…If your in the green zone are you able to just take sips because to big of a drink hurts going down or comes back up? Same with food. What about gurgling…do you gurgle after each drink even Water? I also burp a lot with water when I didn’t before I am just not sure if I am good or too tight…help!

I can't answer this question for you, as I am not too tight. I do get gurgling feelings when I have eaten too fast/much. It's my warning sign to slow it down.

Call your doctor's office and ask. Just to be sure.

Wish I could help, goal, but I have not even had one fill yet. I hope you get it figured out be it here on the forum or from your dr's office. Keep us posted.

Call dr sounds a little too tight. The gurgling sometimes means that.

When was your fill? Sometimes it takes a day or two to have it "settle in," for lack of a better word. Can you eat solid Protein with no problems (very small bites, chewed well)? Are you satiated with about a cup of food eaten over about a half hour or less? If so, you're probably in the green zone. If you can't keep down or get down solid Protein, you're probably too tight. Remember, it does take time to adjust after each fill- you kind of have to re-figure out how things go down, etc, and what you can and can't eat now.

Good luck!

Hello! It sounds like you are good to me. I get gurgling and I have to take smaller sips and chew my food really well. If you were too tight then you wouldn't be able to get any food down at all. You shouldn't be able to take big gulps. Give it a few days and see how it goes. Mine usually loosens up a little (which is actually swelling going down in your stomach that is caused by the fill). Hold out a little while before checking with your doc. You should be fine. Obviously, if you can't keep anything down or there is any other complications, call them right away.

I started gurgling after drinking anything after my 3rd fill - when I hit the green zone. Stopped gurgling about 6 mths later (even tho I've been filled/unfilled several times since then. My husband kinda misses it. Lulled him to sleep! I know I wasnn't too tight. I remembering asking on here about the gurgling and found out it was perfectly normal.

GOOD LUCK

It sounds like you're a bit too tight. At my first fill the doctor put 3ccs in, but after I sipped Water it was gurgling going down. She told me that's definitely too tight if you have gurgling.. Took 2ccs out and that was just right.

My surgeon said if i gurgle or feel as if liquid floats before going down its too tight! There should never be any problems with fluids ever!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
