Whats wrong with me?



Recommended Posts

Ok i had my 3rd fill today..... My doc told me to have 2 days of Clear liquids and then 2 days of mushies... Well i had unbearable hunger. And im always good at fighting it. But i had to eat somthing so i ate a tiny tiny serving of watery mash potatoes. And now im scared i hurt myself.

So i was wondering what are other people told to do after fills?

is it possible i hurt my band?

i feel so guilty... now what could be wrong with me?

Well, I don't have a band, yet... But from what I have read here on LBT, I don't think that watery mashed potatoes are going to cause permanent damage.

Try to stick to the docs instructions from here on out, though.

:]

uhm, I'm just told to "be kind" to myself. Patients at the clinic I use are not required to go on liquids or soft foods after being filled, just kind to ourselves.

We are told to watch what we eat and be extra careful because the restriction might sneak up on us, but that's it.

And as for what's wrong with you? I suspect you are human.

That would be my guess too. :)

My doc's instructions are liquids for 24 hours and soft foods for another 24. Believe me, you didn't hurt yourself. :D

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
