Recommended Posts

For my first two fills, they couldn't have possibily gone more smoothly. They were each 1cc. This morning, I had a third cc injected, and I'm in a LOT of pain right now. Can anyone offer any possible explanation for this????

What kind of pain? Pain in your port?Pain when you eat or drink?

If it is pain when you eat or drink, it could be ytou are overfilled. Please be more specific so we can help you :rolleyes:

How strange, yes, please give more explanation as to what kind of pain you're in. I get dizzy after a fill for about 8 hours, but never have pain.

The only reason I can think of is maybe you swelled more with this fill? If you're still in pain, call the surgeon.

No, the pain is not near my port and doesn't seem to be caused by eating, although maybe aggravated slightly by eating. The pain feels like it's right where the band is. It's like a dull, but very persistant pain that is relieved somewhat if I lay down on my back. I'm sure it must be swelling. I'm just so surprised that after my first two fills, I wouldn't feel a thing, but after this one, i'm in quite a bit of pain....

Ouch! Make sure you are only doing liquids for a couple days, to let the swelling subside. I would think if you do that, then go to mushies that are easy to digest for another 2 days...and you are not seeing an improvement, you should call your doctor and have this checked out.

Krystal, call your doc. This doesn't sound normal to me.

      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.
