Is this feeling full or is band too tight?



Recommended Posts

OK, I had a fill (2nd) 4 days ago. At first I couldn't eat anything and you very helpful people told me about swelling (thank you!). Now, I can eat, but after just one or two bites I feel TOO FULL. It is like the sensation you have (before banding) when you really overeat and you feel like it is all the way up in your chest. I feel like I really need to burp, but I can't. Also, I can barely drink. Only a sip at a time and it seems like even a tiny sip "blows" my stomach up (or so it feels). So...is this what it feels like to have proper restriction or am I too tight?

Well how much did you get put in? I've been told they only put 1cc in so if they did that you shouldnt have that much resticition already, also have you been on the liquids for 2 days afterwards? I've heard multiple accounts about people being on liquids for the first couple of days afterwards. Also it may just be you getting used to the band, leave it for about a week and if you still feel the same then I would definetly suggest going back and getting an unfill, at the moment they probably won't do anything as you've only recently had it and they will most likely tell you to just come back in a week. Hope I helped

If it's already been 4 days, it does sound like you are a teenie bit tight. My doctor and dietician said that when you have proper restriction you should be able to eat 7-10 bites of food.. and you shouldn't feel stuck with water.. at the restriction I'm at right now, this is what I can achieve and I'm not miserable. It sounds like your body is going to be deprived with the little you are eating and drinking.. you don't have to be miserable like this. If it's still like this in the next few days I would seriously just have a little bit taken out.

I had 3cc put in originally (one month after surgery). Then Last Thursday (2nd month) he put in 1.5cc. With the original 3cc I really didn't feel restriction unless I ate fast. This 1.5cc has made a difference! The main thing I am worrying about is the fact that I can't drink! I'm serious, a sip takes FOREVER to go down.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
