Help - 3rd Fill



Recommended Posts

I went last Thursday for a fill and went from 4.5 to a 6 as I have not lost anything for the last 2 months. I have not eaten anything or even been able to keep down Water. Well, I suppose it would stay down if I did not feel I had to be sick to feel better. I have a constant like pain in the centre of my chest and I am just wondering if anyone can help me out. They did say to start slow and I have not had solid food at all. But, like if I have only had 2 tablespoons of a broth Soup and feel this feeling shoudl it go away in a few days..

Call you doctor. I just had my 4th fill and i can only sip about 1tbls at a time and I have to wait for it to go down. For 2 days after a fill, Clear Liquids only and sip. Then 2 days of full liquids and then 5 days of mushies. If you are having a real hard time sipping Water then you need to call you doctor.

melady you probably are too tight and need a small defill. Pain in the shoulders sometimes mean food is not chewed thoroughly enough and is remaining in the pouch. by having a defill for a short period of time, the food can pass through. Also, most successful weight loosers have a fairly loose fill. Everyone has their own sweet spot, but 6-8 ccs in a 10 cc band is fairly common. Hope this information may help.

It sounds like you need an un-fill. I had that problem and I couldn't hold down an liquid. Maybe you are eating things that are not agreeing with you. I get pains and discomfort by that. Hope you feel better soon

I have not been eating at all. All this is based on fluids, Soups, milk, Water, tea, even ice cream... nothing. I seem much better today with the fact that I believe it is gas related. I have so much gas that I can not keep something down. So, I have started my gas-x strips again and hope it works.

      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.
