fill number 2(stuck food)



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 7/16 and had my first official fill yesterday. I received 2.2 cc's during surgery and another 2.2 cc's in my band yesterday. A total of 4.4 cc's in a 10cc band and I finally feel a difference.

My weight has been stagnant for about 4 weeks now, so I really look forward to seeing the change. I have to do liquids for 48 hours and then mushies for 24 hours before progressing back to solid foods. I have never had a 'stuck' or 'sliming' incident, so I think that I am chewing things well. I'm terrified of getting anything stuck.

I had an issue after my 2nd fill. I have a 10CC band (I believe) and they put in 2 CC on my first fill and 1 CC on my second fill. I ate something the day after my fill and didn't feel great, I felt ok, but not great, that was a Thurs night/Fri. On Saturday, I couldn't eat more then 3 bites of solid food w/out having pain and then throwing up. I spoke w/my surgeon's nurse on Monday and she agreed w/me that my band was too tight... So I went in and he took out 1/2 CC, and I was fine.. it's not an exact science... so that could be the problem. I go for my 3rd fill on Sept 9th. Wish me luck!

Falafel's don't like me any more :-( I just had lunch with some friends from out of town, and I should have gone with my first instinct, grilled chicken and Pasta with feta cheese, but ordered just an appetiser knowing I'd never make a dent in the pasta dish, but I could only get down 1.5 falafel's - they were just too dry eventhough I dipped them. I thought I'd be able to chew them enough... BUT I'm so happy that the band is working like it should and I didn't actually get STUCK in front of them!

      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.
