Too tight?



Recommended Posts

I had a fill yesterday and went from being able to eat anything to not being able to keep my saliva down. I am wondering if anyone else has had this and it got better after a couple of day. I don't feel any pain or anything, just have to PB about every 45 minutes or so, just salivia. If I drink anything hot or cold, it comes back too.

I had a fill of 1.5cc and it seems like I can eat just as much. I tried eating chicken and it hurt so bad and then after about 5 minutes I threw it up. What should I be eating? after throwing up I ate soft meat, cottage cheese, Cereal, and never felt filled up. Shouldn't I feel filled?

I was told to have only liguids for 2 days after my fill. I had my Protein Drinks. I had the same experience you are having. I called the Dr. they told me to stay on liquids. Still salia and PB. History: I had 2 fills, 1.5cc, and 1cc. I have a 4cc lapband. I would slime everytime I tried to eat anything solid. I kept thinking it was my fault. I wasn't chewing long enough, etc. I really didn't want to have any of my "fill" removed because I thought I would quit losing weight. I waited 2 months eating only sugarfree icecream (for some reason I can always eat icecream: not a good idea) and Protein drinks. Finally I had .25cc removed and it was wonderful. That is such a tiny amount of Fluid. I was amazed even the next day I could eat REAL food again but not too much. You burn more calories digesting REAL FOOD than liquid (or icecream). I still feel restiction and have times when I PB or slime but it is ususally because I have eaten too fast or I have eaten too much. I was amazed at how having such a small amount removed could make so much difference! By the way, even sugar-free icecream is SATAN'S FOOD for me.

Thanks for writing back! What is sliming? Is that when saliva just seems to fill up your mouth? And PB is productive burping? I have never had that but always get the hiccups along with the pain. What does it feel like to be full? How do you know? I want it to be like right after the surgery when I would feel totally full on just a tiny bit of soft food. Does this ever happen after more fills? Do I need more fills to get this feeling?

Thanks for your help & info. I just had my surgery 6 weeks ago.

Hiccups are also a sign of being full. Stop eating when you get them. Everyone is different and some get full signals and others don't. I get a little twinge in my left shoulder. Tells me I should stop. Fills are different for everyone as well. I've had quite a few fills, but really don't get that full feeling. If I get overfilled I PB and slime (salivia can't swallow so it comes out like foam).

.5 can make you too tight. I had .3 and was too tight! Go back to your doc right away and get a small unfill. Don't wait too long or you will risk damaging you and your band.

      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?

      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.
