This is kinda gross,



Recommended Posts

but most things on this site seem to be! I just had my 2nd fill and am feeling kinda crummy. I was hungry when I got home from the dr (rumbly in my tumbly kinda hungry) so I attempted a few swallows of Tomato Soup. Now, on top of the shoulder pain I've been having since the fill, I'm foaming, slimming, and even vomited what little bit of Soup I'd swallowed. Now I'm trying to determine if a) this is a common reaction to the minor swelling that accompany's a fill, or :thumbup: if they filled me too much. Ugh. I appreciate any insight. I've pretty much decided that if it's not better by tomorrow then I'm going to go back and have them unfill some. Thanks!!

I would wait a little while before you try something else, but make it a clear liquid, and make sure you only take small sips (although, you might have already decided to do that). I would say you're too tight. Even though there is often times swelling after a fill, you should be able to hold down liquids. You may feel tightness the first day or two with liquids, but it shouldn't come back up with foaming, sliming, and vomiting.

I'm glad that you've already decided to go back to the doctor for a tiny unfill. The worse thing to do is to wait too long and then need a complete unfill and to aggravate your band to no end trying to keep a fill that is clearly too much.

Katy,

Did they tell you how much fill they put in? It's possible you have too much of a fill, but it's also possible that you need to just take a smaller sip and then wait before taking another. You may be dealing with just a bit of swelling, but I agree with kiz. If you still can't keep anything down tomorrow, perhaps a slight unfill would 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?

        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.
