HELP!!!!! Having serious issues with my 3rd fill



Recommended Posts

OK, heres the deal.....I literally just got home from having my third fill and already I suspect there will be problems. I just had a couple of rushed sips of Water at the dr's office and left in a big hurry (he was over an hour late for my 4:30 appt). By the time I got to my car, I could feel the familiar gurgling starting but this time it lasted a long time and I was beginning to think it was going to get stuck.....is that even possible, to get stuck on freakin' water? I didn't drink anything else till I got home, then I tried another bigger sip. It felt ok going down, but I have been burping and hiccuping for over an hour then began to feel actual nausea. I guess I may be too tight, but my question is.....when I read other posts regarding people actually being unable to keep even water down, does that mean that you actually are throwing up, or are you just PB'ng? I'm just trying to prepare myself mentally for what might be coming in the morning. If I am too tight will I be throwing up or just in an uncomfortable PB'ng episode? Thank you wonderful people for your help on this and the many other crazy questions I've asked.

I don't think you should be worrying about whether or not you'll PB in the morning. You should be worrying about whether or not you can get an 8am appointment to get an unfill. :angry_smile:

I have never experienced it but have heard of people that are so tight Water will not go down. I might suggest waiting a day to see if there is any change. My doctor has me on a liquid diet for the first 24 hours then to mushy and so on and I think the initial very tight feeling might be why. The only thing that you really can do to be sure is to call your doctor.

Hi everyone! Just an update on my post. I am doing much much better today. I think I had just gotten too used to having no restriction for the past 2 months that when I got this last fill and it did give me some restriction I was still trying to drink big sips like I had been able to with the other 2 fills. Now that I am going MUCH slower it has all been fine today. I had some cabbage Soup for lunch and just took my time....went down perfectly. Of course since it was Soup and only a 1/2 cup at that, I am now hungry and it was only 2 hours ago. Going to try some tilapia tonight...I need some protein! Thanks again everyone!

      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.
