Hope it's not too much

About a month ago I went in for either a fill or not one at all, and they ended up taking some out. I was having major sliming problems almost every day for lunch. I literally had to carry a spit cup around for the first 30 minutes to 1 hour after lunch. It was that bad!!:smile: So this last Monday I went in for a fill. The dtr. is a one-man-show so his nurse practitioner does fills also. She said "Ok, I'll put the .05 back in then." That's when I told her that my card that they write on for me to keep track on said -.25. So did the dtr write it down wrong in my chart or did his assistant write it down wrong on my card? She went ahead and put the +.25 back in. She wanted me to take big gulps of Water before I left, I didn't have any problems. Usually I dont though, sometimes it's not until 1-2 weeks before it feels like I have a restriction. So tonite is my first real food night, and I'm very tentative about the possiblity of real food. (my dtr wants people to eat soft foods for 48 hours after a fill.) I know I've just got to go slow and chew, chew ,chew. Small bites and rest in between my bites. I'm just leary, you hate to feel bad. I know if I just slow it down and relax I will be fine. Thanks for listening.:thumbup: Susan

It is so strange how this works. With restriction sometimes I feel like it is too much trouble to eat but I am trying to hang in there. It sounds like you have a solid plan so stick with it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
