Kelly, the 10 days I spent trying to keep my fill and pbd all the time, my chest ached really bad. It felt like the muscles around that area had been strained or bruised. It's all good now, I just had a huge salad, no problems, not even a tiny bit of uncomfortable. I want my restriction back before I gain.

Hey! I just got back from a barium swallow, everything looks fine...no slippage or obstruction; just really tight. The radiologist said he was guessing that my opening was about 1 mm. So, I am just very tight. I drank 6 oz of hot cocoa and I am praying that I keep it down! I am at 1.4 cc's now!

You must be super swollen. 2 weeks ago you were at 1.4 cc's and were loosygoosy! Now, 1.4cc's is nearly closed tight... go figure!

Glad everything looked good. Boy, you must have some pull around there - to get a barium sallow done so fast!

you have the same symptons my husband had before we realized his band slipped. Acid reflux, not being able to get liquids down etc. When you had your unfill, did they exam the band (ultrasound)? Did you tell him about your symptoms?

Hi Kelly. You're doing great. My fluro showed the same as yours. No damage, just very swollen & tight. Even though I had my unfill on Monday, I'm still only up to oatmeal & can't even eat that much. I don't really get full, just kind of "put off" eating cause I was so swollen. Who ever would have thought I wouldn't want to stuff my face not being filled?

I'm getting a little put back on Monday, I'll let you know how that goes.

Take care,

Karen

      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.
