Hey everyone, I had my 2nd fill yesterday and I have a question I am hoping I can get an answer to. I was eating my supper and I started having this feeling of pressure and tightness in the lower part of my chest. It was hurting or painful pressure. Is this the restriction feeling that people say they have or what?

Yes I started feeling that also durning the month, and they find that I was to tight..So I had to get some taken out..Plus if you don't watch it, you can gain weight from it like I did..Every food I ate was hurting me until it was soft..So I started eatting the wrong foods like Carbs and I gained..So if it keeps up you might have to get some out..

I have never eaten so soon after a fill, but I have been pretty tight for several days after a fill. You should take it easy and give it a few days but you don't want to feel that way all the time. If you are still too tight after a week go see your doctor again for a slight unfill.

MY Dr. makes me stay on liquids and mushy food for 3 days after a fill. I have not have any problems doing it that way. Then on the 3-4 day I make sur that I chew extra well. The pain you are experiencing could be just not chewing good enough right after a fill. I have that every so often when I don't chew enough.

      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.
