Had another fill yesterday for the 1st time in 3 years and OMG I cant even keep Water down!! I will try to make an appt with my dr for tmrw but the appointments are always weeks away. Please advise. Is this normal?? Im so thirsty just want a glass of Water but even sips are unconfortable UGGGH!!

No it's not. Did you consume only liquids or soupy foods the last 24 hours. Just wondering if you at anything solid that might have caused a stuck episode? You can cause some swelling with stuck episodes.

If you followed the rules then you should get back in asap so you don't get dehydrated. Good luck.

Hi I havent had anything but liquids since yesterday post fill. Nothing stays down. It comes back up. Havent eaten anything at all. Im going to suck on ice this evening then call the dr tmrw for unfill. This feels wrong.

I like the idea of using ice. Cold can reduce swelling. That's why we ice our sprained ankles and knees.

Sounds to me like the fill was significant (over 2 mls...?) and that could be too much for your lovely body to adjust to in one sitting. If you can't keep anything doesn't, even liquids, you need to have Fluid out, I think. Keep us posted - we are with you!

      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.
