Today I had my second fill of two more cc in my band. I now have a total of 4ccs in a 10cc standard band. I was given a four day diet to follow by my doctor to allow my stomach to adjust to my new fill. Keep in mind- I had not eaten due to following the rules not to eat anything 2 hours before my fill. Well, if you could imagine I was starving and my stomach had been talking all mooring long. When I returned to work, I decided for lunch to eat outside of his 4 day diet plan and have about 3oz of cream soup and two bites of boil lemon pepper fish. Ooooooh my God my stomach started hurting like never before. :eek:I felt for a brief moment I would need some medical attention. It was very difficult for me to walk back to my office. I was praying for God to please forgive me for my hard headedness. It was like I had swallowed a rock. :scared2:I had never ever experienced that kind of pain with food before since my band, and I really never want to experience it again. I will follow that diet like he prescribed for the next four days. I am starting to feel a little better, but now it's just like I've over eaten terribly. I guess from that experience I have pretty good restriction with my new fill. From this point forward I will listen to my doctor!!!!!

(DIET)

Fill day: n/a breakfast/ no lunch/ cream soup dinner

Friday: protein shake/ cream soup lunch/ regular soup dinner

Saturday: protein shake/ regular soup lunch / soft food dinner

Sunday: protein shake/ soft food lunch/ regular food dinner

I have to do liquids for a few days after my fills too. I've never "tested" it, but I feel certain that I wouldn't be able to get very far! I'm glad that you are feeling better!!

That's funny!!!:) My doctor told me to have liquids for the day of the fill and soft foods the next day and that's it. Everyone is different I guess but I am on my 5th fill and I take it easy on those two days as prescribed.

And my doctor does liquids for 6 hours after, softs that night. Normal the next day.

Someone on here has to do liquids for 2 weeks after every fill. I'm often surprised by the HUGE differences between doctors.

Girl, I so feel you. I just got a fill today, my fill is now up to 6cc's in a 14cc band and of course I was starving as well. I had clam chouder soup and a thin tear of my daughter's chicken. When I stood up I felt so much pain and I too felt like I had rocks in my stomach. I had to sit down to ease the pain. Lessoned learned.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Shonette, I have not had a fill yet and just store up these stories, so when I do have one I will know to behave myself! I am glad you are feeling better.

Every doctor seems to have his own plan..mine is very strict and I will never forget his words.."Well do you want to end up in the ER?" so I follow his rules. Mine is 2 days of clear liquids, 2 days of protein shakes, 2 days of pureed and 2 days of soft proteins..then regular foods...Yes this is after each and every fill!!!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
