MY Second Fill



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Nov.14, 2007. I had my first fill on Dec.26, 2007, for a total of 2cc, I had no restriction. On Jan.30, 2008, I had my second fill, for a total of 4cc, I now feel pain when I drink Water on any liquids, it almost feel like its going to come back up. I really don't want to get an unfill, because it only been a couple of days. :party:

It's not uncommon to feel heavy-duty restriction, even up to 2 weeks after a fill. Don't go for an unfill quite yet but instead stay on liquids and mushies for a few days, then move to solids very slowly and carefully...just baby your band as best you can. you know the drill. If after that time you are having trouble getting solid food to stay down, then by all means call your doctor.

Baby Cat, I got my 3rd fill on 01/30/08 and I also have pain when drinking liquids. It is a little better today. I believe it is from the swelling that occurs after a fill. She tried to add 1cc but Water wouldn't go down so she backed it off to .5cc and the water went down slowly. I've had a few solids and they go down fine but it doesn't take much to fill me up. I think I finally have good restriction. If the pain isn't gone on Monday I am going to call the doctor but I do believe it is from swelling.

Thanks for the advice, I am feeling a little bitter today. I believe I have good restriction. I guess it's a small price to pay, to be thin.

      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.
