Questions regarding my last fill!



Recommended Posts

I had an adjustment and got a full cc in on June 29th... I'm still not having much luck with solids. How long after a fill does your ability to eat solids come back. I've attempted and I get sick... I have gotten sick at least once per day since having my fill. My scale broke (cheap one) and I just bought a new one today and I'm down 15lbs since my fill on the 29th. Any advice? Should I be concerned?? Thanks

Wow 15 in like 3 wks! That seems a bit much, are you able to eat like really tiny tiny pieces of solids or no solids at all?

I think it's too tight, usually I feel the same about a day after a fill but it relaxes after and I'm fine with solids (most). Too tight and over time you'll have killer heartburn (I've been there) and other issues, try to schedule an unfill

Good for you getting in to see your doctor. They are our partners in this process. I have a test for myself -- salmon and broccoli. I need to be able to eat those without trouble. And a fried egg. That's got to go down well. Of course I have to chew and chew plus go slowly (I still have to fight the urge to shovel in my food). I think we all have certain foods that work well for us and that we are all different. chicken seems to be difficult for many banders. I only have it if it's dark meat that I've cooked myself and it cannot be reheated. Something about the fibrous texture? And time of day matters for me. I am not hungry in the morning so I don't eat; evenings are "looser" for 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.
