To fill or not to fill????? HELP



Recommended Posts

I need everyone’s opinion, I have had two fill already from Dr. Kuri, one in February and one in April, I was scheduled to get my third fill on June 18 because for the last two weeks I notice I can eat a lot more than what I had been eating following my second fill. I had a problem eating in the mornings for the first 3 weeks after my second fill.

Okay the problem is that I am due to start my period around the 13th and yesterday in the morning I was eating a Soup and I had to stop half way because it got stuck, when I coughed a little bit of saliva came out, okay during lunch I had 2 taquitos (crispy usually goes down with no problem for me) it took me about 30 minutes to eat them because I had to chew, chew and chew so it wouldn’t get stuck, then for dinner I had 1 taco with soft beef, cilantro, onions and mild salsa (I can usually eat a taco really slow) well after my second bit I ran to the bathroom had a major bp attack, I was throwing up for the next 2 hours and I felt terrible.

My question is can I be tighter because I am going to start my period or what’s going on. Should I not get a fill??? Should I get a fill??? I need everyone’s advice.

Esmeralda, it never failed for me, whenever I thought I was in need of a fill, I would schedule it 2-3 weeks in advance and like WHAM the minute I hung up the phone from making the appointment I suddenly had instant restriction, every time, I have cancelled fill appointments 3 times because of this but Yes it could be true that you have more restriction on your period, It has happpend to me several times.

Here is a good site to read over that may help you decide

      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.
