Sudden restriction before first fill?



Recommended Posts

Hello Fellow lap banders :Banane03:

So, I was banded June 16th, I was just commenting yesterday about my band how I can eat constantly, always hungry, no restriction etc. ...Well, I let myself get extremely hungry yesterday (stupid I know) and I had the worst case of a growling stomach, ever since then I have had a lot of restriction which I have not had since the band.

And today for the first time I had "sliming" ick!

Has anyone else had something similiar? sudden restriction before your first fill? (Having my fill Tuesday July 22nd) :)

I didn't slim but I know yesterday I waited too long to eat and when i did I felt like an over stuffed cow and it was painful so I had to lay down for like 3 hours before it subsided. I even went to bed without eating and this monring running late I didn't even grab anything to eat at all and here it is noon already and am not leaving from work till 1:45 not a very good schedule here, I did have some Peanut Butter and crackers but let's just say I needed an egg or something not that crap! I am stuck here at work till then too :) UGH!!! I feel ya though!

you might have eaten to fast cause you were so hungry and so now your stomach is irrated. Or its in your head and you are just afraid of the fill who knows. I know i have lots of problems in my head with my band.

Thank you to both you for your replies :)

Acutally I can't wait for my fill on Tuesday that is for sure. I am pretty comfortable with the condition of my mental state and old habits, but thank you for the reminder.

Perhaps I ate something that is just irritating (as you suggested) or just got stuck, I will ask my surgeon about it if it is not feeling better.

Take care both of you and Cheers!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
