I had my surgery on June 21st 2012 and Just had my thrid fill on January 2nd. Now being 7 days out from that fill. I am having different issues and do not know if this is restriction or if I am a little too tight. When I had my fill last week, I was able to eat small bits and drink, but now that it has been 7 days I am expericencing changes.

In the mornings, I have always been tight, but now since my Jan 2nd fill I cannot drink hardly anything. I can only drink tiny sips and takes about an hour for 4 ozs of liquid to go down. it feels like it is in my throat forever. I also gurgle and PB a lot more So I cannot eat anything for Breakfast.< /p>

When I eat lunch I can only eat about 1/2 cup of salad and it takes me an hour to eat that.

for dinner I am starting to get tight again and can only consume like lunch about 1/2 a cup of food taking another hour to consume.

I am not hungry between meals, but starting last night I have been PB'ing a lot more and a lot of acid has been coming up. It kept coming up it all night. I have not been weak and I am able to eat some.

AM I too tight or am I finally feeling restriction???

Does sound like you might need a slight unfill. Remember we're not really suppose to take1hr to eat, just 20min.

Call your Dr, please!

sounds like you are to tight - I had surgery the day after you and am on fill 6 and have fairly good restriction and never had that happen before.

I would suggest calling your doctor and get small unfill. You should not be PBing all the time especially not at night.

Take care.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
