I had a fill on 04/16 (Help)



Recommended Posts

I had a fill on Saturday 04/16 and when I got my fill the doctor gave me a .5cc fill, then I go an unfill, checked again and I was still to tight, another unfill, checked again and it was okay so I was left with a .2 fill (now I am at 2.2cc).

I was able to drink liquids okay but yesterday at 3:00 I tried to eat and my second spoon of food just came back, after that I visited the restroom about 4 more time each time coughing and with some food out. When I left on my way home I had that slimy stuff coming out and after that I was foaming, this happened for about an hour. Am I too tight or did I just eat to fast and not chew good enough???? I am afraid to eat because I don’t want to go thru that again.

Any suggestions?? I am back on liquids (tea, Water and Ispopure).

Hi Esmerelda,

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I hear tell that the first days after a fill are a bit difficult and you have to baby your stomach for a few days. I hear tell further that with the disruption to the stomach and the general trauma can be troublesome for a while...give it a few days of swigging Protein and i'm sure you will be as good as new. I get my first fill on 4/29 and already know that its back to liquids for me. Feel better!

You definitely need to stay on fluids a bit longer, my doctor recommends doing three days of liquid, three days of mushies and then slow with the solids after a fill, I haven't followed his advice with my fills and have regretted it very much. Next fill, I am most definitely following his advice. Hope it works out. As long as you can tolerate fluids, there is no need to panic, give it a couple more days and if you still can't tolerate food, get a hold of your doc for a slight unfill.

After that episode on Sunday I was scared to eat so I went back on liquids for another half a day and yesterday I did Soup in the morning and for dinner I went to Pollo loco and had a chopped chicken salad (it has chicken, rice, Beans, lettuce and salsa) and I could,nt even eat half. I really do feel full with very little food. I am doing alot better, Sunday just wasnt a good day for me.

Esmeralda - Glad to hear you are doing better! Be careful on the rice though, it has a tendacy to swell up after we eat it and some bansters do have trouble with it.

Thats what I ate on Suday when I had that BP episode, my chicken bowl hardly had any but I picked out the chicken and the Beans, I did put some of there watery salsa just to make it moist! I am realy watching it because that was a scary feeling.

I don't know bandit, I got a fill 2 weeks ago and only dropped a 1-2 lbs, and I can hardly eat anything that will stay down. I couldn't even get a milkshake to stay down today. I'm considering getting some taken out Thursday, I'm sooooo tired of pbing.

I am doing good, I really notice the difference in the amount of food I can eat. Today I had 2 bites of toast and about 4 spoons of oatmeal and that was it, I was really full.

I have been able to drink my liquids like I am suppose to but when I eat and my stomache is full I feel like I am going to throw up and that is with very little food. I have not felt like I did on Sunday so I think it was the chewing and the big bite!

Thanks everyone for your quick response and for caring!

      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.
