Second fill and i swear i can something different...?



Recommended Posts

I just left

The doctor where I got my second fill. She intended to give me 1cc but my port "sucked up" another .5 !! Lol! I told her that's because we are HUNGRY!! I sipped my Water and everything seems good, though I swear I can feel something different, even when not drinking. I feel a tightening in my chest. It's not uncomfortable at all, it's just an awareness....

Has anyone felt this way? My BIGGEST fear is being too tight-- my port is very tender and this second fill hurt pretty badly. I don't want anymore!

Your stomach is likely a bit swollen from the fill, which is normal, and would cause that tightness you're feeling.

I always stay on liquids for 24 hours after a fill then very cautiously work real food back in. You'll find every fill is truly a learning experience, especially as you increase the amount in your band.

Best wishes.

Seems the tightness was temporary. I feel like myself now and will be on liquids for the rest of today.... Thanks for the advice!

      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.
