I had a fill Thursday afternoon. Friday everything seemed ok. I drank liquids to begin with Friday nigh mushy and was fine. Saturday morning I tried my Cereal and it was a really slow go, then lunch of tuna didn't want to go down - not a major stuck, just a little pressure, so I went back to liquids. Sunday morning I did liquids, for lunch I was at my mom's and she fixed some tuna cakes and soft cooked greenbeans- it went fine, just ate slow. Mom sent a tuna cake and some greenbeans home for my dinner and it didn't want to go down at dinner time.

This morning I have drank 2 bottles of Water, 2 cups of coffee, 1 Protein Shake and tried to eat about 5 almonds - the almonds went down, but I still had a little pressure.

The doctor said give it another day before coming in to get a slight unfill.

Have any of you had this issue? Did you wait it out or go get an unfil?

Not getting major stuck, just slight pressure when trying to eat solids- yes I am chewing well and taking tiny bites.

Most people I know wait..a week is not that unusual.....should treat it gentle after a fill also...it can be irritated and inflamed from the fill and continued stress will only keep it irritated....promoting you to get a unfil...then a month from now you wish you didn't.....seen this scenario 100 times.....

I had to relearn how to eat with each fill, the closer I got to the green zone.

As long as you are not having trouble getting liquids down I would give yourself time to get use to the fill. Try smaller bits, chewing a little more and waiting a little longer between bits.

You might be at the green zone. But if it is unmanageable then get a small unfill. Only you know what you can manage.

Good luck to you.

        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
