Ready for first fill tommorrow :) started having issues



Recommended Posts

I was banded on February 12th , have had no issues. I get my first fill tommorrow . This past Wednesday had my first run in with getting stuck and again last night .. And then just now .. All on food I've been eating on a regular basis. Should I be worried ?

hi.i had a few sticks after my last fill. I found out that after a stuck, with throwing up, it was best to go all liquid again. apparently there could be swelling and it would continue to keep sticking. So I went all liquid for two days, than mushy soft for two days and than solid. It seemed to work. Let your doc know. After a fill I think you have to do liquid only anyway. At least I know I do. Best of luck.

If you are sticking without a fill, you may not want to get one right away. Be sure your surgeon knows about the problems you are having. Getting tighter will not help you learn to eat the right size bites and chew. Make sure you are comfortable with how you are eating. Fills are not the end all. I know a lot of people who have gone over 9 months without a fill and are still losing.

      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.
