My band hates everything except Soup...maybe I am too tight, I dont know..but the only other thing that hasnt come up is salad...

Any suggestions? So far I've tried broccoli, chicken, corn, tuna...oh, and bread...that def was a killer... None of these things went through...

What do you veterans suggest?

According to my doc, he considers too much restriction to be an emergency and he then wants to take some fill out! You may want to call your doc and see what he suggests! You should be able to eat something! I know he also says fluids for a few days after a fill. Not sure, because I haven't had one yet and won't til I am 6 weeks out! Best wishes with everything!:)

Yes you may very well be a tad too full, but I have a question for you...are you giving your stomach time to heal and unswell (not sure that is a real word...) following one of the episodes where something does not stay down? Many times it will take a day or 2 or even longer following a serious PB where you actually throw it up, for the stomach to return to normal, and during that time you should be on strictly liquids. If it is swelling, and you attempt to eat again, it will not be able to pass, and cause yet another PB, and make the swelling even worse...it makes an evil cycle.

Maybe try a few days of liquids, it sometimes helps everything settle back in, then on to mushies, and try solid Protein again after the break. If it is still a no go, then I would say that some fill needs removed.

Good Luck---Keep us posted!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
