A Few Bites Then To The Toliet



Recommended Posts

I git my second fill this weds the day of i had some tuna a small can took 45 mins to eat. Cool. The next day took some small bites of fish.. nope bathroom. I cant even eat any Jello. Makes me want to run to the bathroom. Yogart i was only able to eat 3oz. And still want to go to the bathroom. My dr put 2.5ccs for my second fill. Plus my first was 1.5ccs i have lost 5 lbs since wed, this is friday. Good for the scale bad for my chest(the paon it is causing) and for my diet. Did i get too much? Or am i just not used to it yet?

Keep in mind that some of this may be in your head too. One bad experience, and your mind could play tricks on you and "close up" before you get a fork near your mouth. Try some deep breathing before you eat. Also drink something about 30 minutes before to tell yourself that you're fine and the food WILL go through. But if you find something is giving you trouble (even if you've eaten it fine before), lay off that for a week and go on to something else. There were foods that I suddenly couldn't eat anymore a YEAR after my band. Give yourself time to adjust after those fills. You'll react differently to each one, so it's going to be a lot of trial and error.

I would give it a little time. I would also be sure to take small bites- and I mean really small bites. Chew it until mush and pause between bites.

I had some problems after a fill and almost went for an unfill after a couple days, but I started taking tiny bites and then I was fine.

I always have a hard time with yogurt. Takes me about 30 mins to eat 6 oz of it and then I want to throw up. You might be too tight. I'd give it a few days and if you still can't eat anything, talk to your doc!

Sounds like you might be too full. My 2nd fill I was too full, everytime I ate I got sick. I waited 10 days thinking it would get better with time. don't be in misery too long they took out .10 cc out of my band and it was instant relief.... Good luck.!!!

I know this sounds crazy but I find if I drink a cup or 2 of something hot first thing in the morning that my band seems to loosen up for the day and I can eat better especially after getting a fill. I do Decaf coffee so you may want to try that. My doctor tells me after getting a fill to stick to Protein Shakes for the first 24 to 48 hrs then work my way back up to regular food slowly. Good luck to you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
