I'd call your Dr. if I were you. I think you should be able to drink more then sips. Some people can only do "mushies" for a few days after a fill. If this lasts more then 3 - 4 days I think you should call. Just my opinion based on what my Dr. told me. I hope this helps a little. :)

yes I had a small fill a few days ago after a 2 year gap of letting it do whatever it wanted (ie putting on weight). My stomach felt really tight and I felt a bit nauseous. Its been difficult, tightness kept me awake the first two nights with lots of burping and reflux. Last night was a bit better, only a few times I woke up with reflux. Heres hoping it calms down more tonight. I have had a full blockage before, and this isnt the same, so Im not too worried.

If you cant get anything down at all then go straight back to the doctor, otherwise I suggest letting it settle 3 or 4 days. Just make sure you are getting fluids in.

      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.
