What happened to it????



Recommended Posts

Ok guys....had a fill on 07-12-06 and I went from 1.7cc to 2.2cc...saw the restriction...did the liquids/soft diet for 48 hours and then slowly started back on solids like fish, chicken, veggies. I have been good to my fill but it's gone! I went to dinner last night and had an avocado-crab salad w/pico on top...no bread and iced tea (didn't drink the whole time I was eating)...I was able to eat almost the whole thing!!!!!!! No problem...it went down real easy. What is up with that???? I am confused. :eek: This is the most I have been filled but I feel like I can eat more than I did before. Anyone?

Same thing happened to me as well. It did level out over time though. I'm not certain, but I think that some swelling might occur just after the fill, that goes down after a couple of days. Give it a few days and see if things don't seem better. I know that there are times when I feel wide open and then other times very restricted.

As Jack says, the band is a fickle bitch. *snicker*

I have had 2 fills and I don't think I ever swelled, but I do feel small restriction in the AM, I don't feel like I need to eat, lol. I feel like I can be a garbage can at times, lol. I am getting a fill this week. Give it some time because I didn't notice the slight restriction for a few weeks after my last fill.

Good luck

I am having the same problem. So far I have had 3 fills. The first one I felt no restriction, the second some restriction for about a week, the third good restriction for 1 week or so and now I can eat almost anything in any amount so long as I chew. I only feel restriction if I don't chew well or if I swallow too big of a bite. I am not sure if I should try another fill or what. So far I am pretty disapointed.

Could be what you were eating as well. Perhaps try something more solid, like chicken breast, well chewed, to see if you notice any more restriction with 'harder' Protein. Sometimes, if I mix my textures - such as with salads, I can definitely eat more at a sitting than if I began with a chicken breast, then moved on to something like veggies. Just a thought..

      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.
