Fill/PB/Fullness Question



Recommended Posts

My last fill was the end of May and I am scheduled for another this Thursday. While I am able to eat a good bit at times there are times when I can't. It doesn't seem like there is any rhyme or reason to it. While I was on vacation I got stuck so bad on tuna fish (Who would have thought?) and actually ended up throwing up. I notice I don't eat as much as I used to but I have been stuck at the same weight for 6 weeks. Should I get a fill?

I know how you feel. My last fill was at the end of April and I noticed a couple of weeks ago that I was able to eat more than I have been able to in a long time. I went in for a fill last week and everything seemed to be fine at first, but yesterday I almost had to throw up the Water I was drinking. I had a hard time getting Tomato Soup down too! I tell people all the time that what I am able to eat depends on the day. Some days I can eat sushi (with the rice!) no problem and then other days I can barely get pudding down. I don't get it. I am debating on whether or not I need to go in and get some of my fill taken out or just wait it out. I'm sure that in a few days it will loosen up a bit.

This isn't really a solution to your question, but I know how it feels. I just wish someone could explain why it works this way.

      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.
