So Thursday I had my 2nd fill... dr put in 2cc so now I am at 5 in a 10cc band. After my first fill I was able to eat okay and after about 3 weeks had a few stuck episodes from eating too fast and not chewing enough. Now however I can't really get much down. I tried eating soft food the first night and after 5 bites I was so stuck it took 2 hrs but it all came back up. Then Friday I decided all liquids and was able to get down a pudding for lunch. I was also able to eat a little Pasta for dinner but it took an hour to eat a cup of food. This morning I woke up thinking maybe I could get something down so I tried a ham rollup and after 2 bites I was stuck again. I am eating slow and chewing well but I am afraid I won't be able to get anything down. I am afraid to try anything at this point aside from my Protein Shake.< /p>

Did anyone else have this experience? Will it get better after a few days or should I call Monday to get some taken out? Help please!

Hi Sweetsam! I haven't had a fill yet - I'm newly banded. My doc did say though, that after each fill I'm to be on liquids for 3 days then work my way back to solids 3 days at a time like I did just after surgery. He said that it will take time for my stomach to adjust to the tighter band. Like I said...no experience with this yet...it's just what my doc said that I will do after my fills. Maybe it'll help you? Good Luck...and hope you feel better! :)

Yep you should have been on liquids only for at least 24 hours, followed by mushies for 24 hours. Go back to the beginning and start again with liquids. You have probably irritated the band and esophagus. If you are not able to eat mushies after a day of liquids call the doc for an unfill.

I knew I was supposed to do liquids for the first night but thought I would be okay with a mushie food.... thanks for the advice. Sometimes it helps to hear it from others. I guess its me and Protein Shakes for the next 2 days lol

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
