Problems of over-fill??

[dlsmom1 0]

I, too got a bit of an overfill 5 days ago, and nearly everything (including liquids) hurts trying to go down. I only actually threw up once, but lots of PB'ing. I'm going to go on liquids & extremely soft stuff (yogurts, etc) for a few days. I don't want to go in for an unfill--I'd like to tough it out till my next appt in 3 weeks. Can anyone tell me how you would know if you are swollen, etc? I feel fine, although I don't think I'm getting enough liquids in--I'm going to do the ff popsicles. I certainly don't want to take a chance in damaging anything, but don't feel that I have, as I feel fine when not eating : ) All of your experience and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

i also am over filled, got my fill on friday and have been unable to eat anything and i cant get down yogert or Protein Shakes so its Water and broth and i am also worried about dehydrating. but i dont want to get a unfil becouse im private pay and well lets just say the dr. isnt cheap. so has this happened to you before and how long does it take to loosen up a little?

All the PBing starts a vicious cycle of swelling your stomach. I got to the point after this fill that I could not even drink coffee in the mornings, and coffee usually opens me up, so I can eat by 11 or noon. I had them take out about .5cc's and I am better now. I can actually eat solid foods in the morning. Here is the thing. You think by not being able to eat, that you are doing yourelf a favor weight loss wise, but in essence, you are not, you are slowing your metabolism down. That is what happened to me. I could not eat anything but slider foods (high in calories), and then the metabolism slowed down (body thought it was starving) which inturn equaled weight gain. As soon as I had .5cc saline removed, I lost 3 Lbs in the first 2 days, just because I could actually eat something. So be careful! You do not want the vicious cycle to start.
