NEWBIE NEEDS SUPPORT....



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am new to this site and the band ...I had my third fill yesterday (5.2) ...before this I had no real restriction unless I ate real fast or didn't chew enough...but If I ate slow and chewed well, I could eat a lot...after yesterday..i am having a hard time drinking enough Water and def not eating much without pain and feeling stuck for most of the day. It doesn't matter whether its in morning or evening....should I wait a few days to see if it changes ?

thanks for your feedback...feeling concerned

My take is the swelling from a fill can take a day or two to settle.
Please don't irritate it.... mine takes days to settle down. Yogurt and Soups seem to help.
Good luck. Please update when possible !

If you still, after a day or two, have a hard time with Water, definitely call your surgeon. Mine has me drink water before I leave his office.

after a fill i have only liquids for 48 hours then 48 hours of puree then slowly go from there . a fill even a small one will inflam the stomach if you rush it you will have problems espcially at the fill level you are. when you say your having trouble what kind of trouble and pain . is it not staying down at all then def see the doctor

      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.
