First Fill And Pb'ing???



Recommended Posts

I got my first fill today. 2 cc's. I thought I was doing okay but I didn't make it out to my car before I started PB'ing. That was almost 3 hours and I'm still doing it. I have to admitt it has been a VERY stressful day as we've had a family crisis and I've cried pretty much all day. Plus my doctor asked me to drink plain luke warm tap Water while he was doing the fill and I absolutely cannot stand plain water, let alone luke warm water!!!! It makes me gag!!!! Do you think the stress of today or the plain water has made me sick or do you think I've gotten too much for my first fill?? Do you think taking a walk will help?

Did you have fill at time of surgery or do you only have 0.2cc? It's unusual, but not impossible, that you could be too tight. Are you having trouble consuming liquids or are you trying to eat normal foods? I recommend sticking to liquids for the first 48 hours post fill.

I've not tried to eat or drink anything since I got home. I feel like I can't swallow and I've got a "burp" stuck in my throat. Ugh!!! I'm supposed to do liquids for 24 hours and then mushies for 24 hours. I think I'll just go to bed. It's been a bad day!!

If you feel that in your throat, I would recommend going back to the Dr and getting a small amount removed.

Thursday night and Friday day were horrible. I wasn't even able to drink much Water. It hurt so bad. It felt like I was trying to swallow a golf ball. Saturday I could drink my Vitamin water and applesauce. Saturday night I tried to eat a mushie green pepper and onion---no way, it came back up! Today I tried a few bites of chicken, same thing. But this evening I have had a Protein Shake and a vitamin water and they have stayed down and didn't hurt going down. Do you think I was just swollen from the fill, or do you think I still have too much and need to go back for an unfill? I am going to call my Dr. first thing in the morning to see if I can be seen tomorrow. Hopefully this will get taken care of. Even though I'm not really hungry, I have been having head hunger (and the weirdest cravings) like crazy!!! I have not had caffeine or carbonated beverages since the end of May but the last couple of days I think I could have drank a whole case of soda!!! :-(

        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
