OH BOY...1st fill...1st pb...



Recommended Posts

Got my 1st fill this past Thursday (1.5cc) and tried to eat salmon the 1st night. Well, what went down before is no more! I had 2-3 small bites and chewed WELL. I then had this burning in my stomach (not heartburn) and coughed. Well, when I coughed the food came up. I tried a forkful of meatloaf the next night and same thing. I can't cough when I eat or it will all come up. I have great restriction and it appears I will have to experiment all over again to see what food I can eat. Turkey and chicken are my food of choice even though I can only eat about 5 bites at a time. I still have this burning sensation in my stomach (pouch) with most food. Anyone else experience this?

Overall, things are going great!! I am so happy that I have this band to help me.

My doctor recommends a day or two after each fill. Solids are hard on a swollen stomach. Also, my fills feel tight for about 2 weeks and then it's as if I don't have a band.

This doesn't sound right. You should be able to eat more than 5 bites because although this sounds great it won't keep you full for 4 hrs.There also shouldn't be a burning sensation.

Is the coughing voluntary or involuntary? If you can control it great. But if you can't and you keep PBing on such small quantities of food then it may have been too much Fluid for you at one time.

Hopefully this settles down - if not talk to your Dr.

My dr says liquid for 24-48 hrs after a fill then mushie for an additional 24-48 before real food.< /p>

Thanks all, I am taking just liquids for a few days and will see what happens. I can't believe I have this much restriction on 1.5 cc's. I am sure the pb-ing did not help.

      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?

      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.
