Too tight??



Recommended Posts

Every doctor has their own rules, you should follow what your doctor says. My doctor wants me to have Clear Liquids for 2 hours and soft food the rest of the day with the solids the next day. This is the protocol I am given even when I got an unfill. He also says it takes a couple of days before your band shows the full effect of the fill/unfill, because of the swelling.

I have noticed that anytime I vomit, I have to stay on liquids/soft food for a day or so or I just keep making it worse.

I too have problems with eggs, especially scrambled. Best of luck!

For those of you who state you vomit, please be aware that vomiting is not recommended. Regurgitating food or what we call PB(productive burp) is expected. But a full blown vomit causes your stomach to contract, expand and then violently force food back up through your stoma(band) and into your esophogus. It's not just your new pouch that is rejecting the food, it's the entire stomach. This can cause your sutures that wrap around the band and hold it in place, to rip away and could cause your band to slip.

So, if you can control the vomiting, I would highly recommend it! BTW-this is true for new bandsters and old ones too. New bandsters sutures are probably more easily destroyed though.

And, juju's swelling was exacerbated by the vomiting most likely.

Thats another reason why i feel like i need an unfill i don't wanna be vomiting and i know that not normal and i definitely don't wanna go through my band slipping. Hopefully the dr will be able to clarify and tell me if i really do need an unfill tomorrow. Thanks again everybody for ur support and time! :-)

I was having problems after my last fill. I was told to drink hot liquid in the morning before thinking about Breakfast. It has worked for me.

      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?
