Filled 2 weeks ago!



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I had a fill 2 weeks ago & finally got proper restriction - it was brilliant but the last 2 days I have been really really tight.. I can drink Water but struggle with thick Soup let alone any solid food.

Is this normal for it to get really tight after 2 weeks of being ok? Do you think it will return to how it was before?

I am not upset, stressed or hormonal as far as i am aware! I am gutted that its got tight when it seemed to be perfect!

I have a 10cc band and I had 0.75mils put in to take me up to 8.75cc. At 7cc I had hardly any restriction.

Please help - I really dont want to pay again for another bit to be removed if it will improve.

I've had my band just over a year now and not been very sucessful with the weight loss - only lost 1.5 stone... finally I am in the right frame of mind & seeing weight come off when this happens to ruin it! arrghhhh...

thanks

Sally

well i'm gutted that no-one offered me support or advice even though 52 people read this message.

In case anyone is interested my tightness lasted for 5 days & is now back to a good restriction but where i can eat and drink small portions.

I guess it must have been hormonal or something.... but all i can say is if you get this happen it might be worth sitting it out for a few days before having Fluid removed then regretting it!

I'm glad the situation resolved itself - I was one of those that read your post, but I honestly didn't have any advice to offer. My doc told me that it can take up to 2 weeks to feel the restriction, but I haven't experienced it for myself yet. It sounds like you may actually be at your sweet spot for now. Cross your fingers and hope this is your magic fill spot!

      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.
