To Full???



Recommended Posts

Had my 2nd fill on Thursday and am now up yo 6cc in a 10cc band. Since the fill I've been having this strange sensation in the very bottom of my throat after I eat even the smallest amount. The only relief I get is after excusing my self to the bathroom to "pb". I don't bring up food but this disgusting slime.(sorry for the graphics). I'm nervous to go have any Fluid removed because I WANT to start losing weight!!!

This also happened to me, I have 7 1/2 cc in my band. I had my second fill 3 weeks ago, and now I can say that that strange sensation has deminished alot. I too am scared to have any Fluid removed in fear of not loosing any weight. Just be patient

Is it because the opening is agitated by the fill? I didn't have that problem at all with the first fill. How long did you have this sensation? Its awful.. I had the surgery August 30th and have only lost 3lbs up until this fill. I need that kick start!!

First, being tight doesn't equal losing weight. At all. In fact, if you're too tight you're much more likely to gain weight because you can't eat healthy foods.

With that said... you just had your fill on Thursday. I would do a couple things. Go to liquids for the next 24 hours to give the irritation and swelling time to diminish. Then, go onto soft foods, then solids. Do this slowly and with caution.

When you eat, take VERY small bites. I mean like the size of your fingernail. Chew it until absolute mush and pause between bites. Very often after a fill it's a learning experience because the way you were eating simply no longer works.

If none of this works, then I'd definitely call your doc to discuss a slight unfill.

Best wishes to you.

Thank you so much for all the insight. Luckily for me making healthy choices in food has never been difficult for me but Portion Control always has been. I'm relieved to know that the feelings I've been having lately should get easier..

Woke up today extremely dehydrated. Called the doc and went in and had .5cc removed. Wow what a difference! Was able to eat a cup of broccoli tonight. That's more than I've had in a week!

You will be swollen, even after an unfill. If you keep having problems with liquids be sure ti call your doctor. Take care.

        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
