Funky Third Fill



Recommended Posts

Wow! This third fill has been a doosy. I still only have under 3ccs in an 11 cc band. I only got .75cc on this third fill. Since last Wednesday, I have kept down 3 chicken wings. I can do warm and hot liquids but normal food would come right back up.

This evening, I did, finally, get down a few tortilla chips with a four layer high Protein low fat dip. LOTS of normal burps (the food is going down kind of burps) but no PB. Thank the Lord!!!!

I was fixing to call the doc in the morning to go in for a slight unfill.

I have more trouble with fills than anyone I know and I only get small ones. What is the deal?

I eat right. I chew well. I eat slow. I don't eat crap that is bad for me.

This whole week, I have been supplementing with Protein Water and Protein shakes but only AFTER things won't stay down. Soooooo weird.

sorry to hear that you've had such a hard time with this. I frequently get food stuck when eating - especially chicken - but tortilla chips go down great for me. I haven't had enough restriction yet, so my weight isn't coming off so well, but I'm hoping after today's fill that starts to pick up. I hope your body learns to adapt. One thing that bothered me was the no drinking rule. I found that that caused me to get stuck more often, so now I will sip a bit of Water during a meal to keep things moving. Good luck.

      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.
