Thankful

[gone 4 ever 6]

liquids and mushies for a few days then try to eat again. It started Monday. I had a fill. Was on liquids for 48 hrs. Wed. afternoon I ate fine. I felt restriction. But had been belching ever since my fill. Thursday got worse. Belching so bad not even funny. I even slimmed. Friday slimmed at lunch, belched like crazy all day even with Water. Sat. and Sun. I have only been able to keep 1 meal down each day, and that was me fighting not to pb or slime. So after reading in this thread I have decided to let my stomach rest. Then try full foods. If I am not better by Fri. I will call the Dr. and get in the following week.

Really evaluate how much and how fast you are eating... but I was too tight for a long time... a slight unfill made all the difference in the world...... .3cc was the difference from only being able to sip Soup, and eat food.< /p>

The fat lady is singing again! I was able to eat today and feel great now. I do have some restriction, but I am not at my sweet spot yet. Thats o.k. I figure my port was more swollen than the last fill and after 48 hrs. I should have went on mushies for a day or two after the liquids. I will know for next time.

Not sure if this makes a difference but the whole day before I went for my first fill I was on liquids only, then liquids two days after. Soft musies for two more days and on the 5th day I went back to solids. Never had a burping or sliming problem. With the second fill, I ate normally all day on the day of the fill. After the fill I was on 1 day of liquids instead of two and went to solids on day two instead of day five. The difference in the two fills was huge. The first fill, no complications. The second fill, I've had burping problems and haven't felt that great. I'm still not restricted so when I go for the next fill I'm going to do liquids only before and after and follow my surgeon's instructions to a T. It makes all the difference for me. Hope this helps. :thumbup:
