Too many CC's? Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have been doing really well since my surgery two months ago. I have lost about 46 pounds, and I feel good about that. I went for my first fill last Thursday (10-29) and the surgeon asked me if I got hungry. I told him yes, and he decided to do a fill. I know nothing about fills, because I have never had one before. He put in 3 cc's, and told me to stay away from carbs and eat lots of Protein. I left that afternoon and wound up posting on here because I got so sick. I could not eat at all. I guess I should have known not to eat solids for a few days, but I didn't. Anyway, since then, I have had at least one or two bouts of PBing every day. I can't eat anything solid without it coming back up. I have tried everything. I can drink liquids fine, but solids are not doing well. I talked to the nurse this afternoon, and she said my doctor was in surgery and his scheduling nurse had left for the day, but she said maybe I needed to have some taken out. Is it normal to be sick every day? I have lost seven more pounds in a week, but I feel really bad. I have little energy, and it is getting harder to keep up with my class of six year olds when I feel this way. I wish now I had told him I never get hungry at all, because I was losing and still able to eat before the fill. What do you guys think?:)

I wouldn't be trying any solids for a few days. Liquids and soft mushies are best until the stomach irriation goes away. It takes time to get back to neutarl.

Best of luck and do see your doc for sure if it is still bad on liquids and mushies.

I agree that you need to do 24-48 hours on liquids only, then proceed slowly through soft/mushies, small quantities at a time. Since you can keep liquids down you are not in an emergency situation, but if things aren't better by Monday maybe having 1cc taken out would be good.

Best wishes,

Mimi

You need to go get a slight unfill as soon as possible.

I only eat mushies that day and then back to regular foods... you are too tight... just have them take a little bit. I kept myself tight like that for 3 weeks and the scale went down quick but I was really sick... took me three more fills to get it right. Now its right. :)

      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.
