So I went in for my 3rd fill this passed Tuesday and the dr put in 2 ccs to give me a total of 6. I did my liquids that day, mushies on Wednesday now on to Thursday. I started with yogurt and that was fine, lunch I did mashed sweet potatoes and for dinner I tried some chili. I didn't get stuck but felt like it was very very close. So I did the same yesterday. And even saltines made me feel like I was going to PB. Today I tried to eat a salad and grilled shrimp ( I'm taking 3 SMALL shrimp)for lunch and up it came. Water goes down no problem. So I'm wondering is my body still adjusting to the fill or should I have some removed?

thank you so much! And you are right it's very much a learning experience. I like your idea of the 36-48 hrs after a fill. I'm sure our Tummys are mad at us being poked all the time

good advice thanks a million! Thinking about trying fish as my first solid Thursday. It can't come room enough

I was instructed by my dr to eat soft food for 2 days since I just had my unfil last evening. I'm moving to solid foods Thursday. That will be the true test. I'm hoping it won't be a problem

is like to rephrase that. Not "full" I'm satisfied

My situation was just like yours. Went in for my first fill and after 10 min of him poking around sent for an X-ray to confirm flipped port. That was on a Friday and Monday was in surgery to fix it. It's disappointing for sure I'm sorry you have to go through it

Well today for lunch are 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes and 3 bites of applesauce and I'm full. Green zone maybe???

I'm hoping I don't go back to being hungry because I was before I went from 4-6. I was so miserable not being able to eat with 6, maybe 5 is my lucky number

Had 1 cc removed today. Couldn't keep yogurt down. Liquids for rest of the day Mushie tomorrow. A should be able to eat solid by Wednesday. Thanks for the support!

Thanks a million!! It may be early but chili went down this am no problem. I'm kinda in a pickle as I don't know if that counts cause it's kinda mushy even with ground beef. I may just wait a day or two before having an unfil. Thanks for all the advice! Great to be in a place with all this knowledge

I will try to eat this morning and see. Seems odd I was able to eat the other day. Thanks for all the input

I'm about 5 months out. And I've had shrimp lots of times before this last fill with no problems. Maybe it's just the fill and now I can't handle it. I called the dr and they advised liquids for rest of the weekend and call Monday for a slight unfill as I tried to eat again and for sick

Thanks for the advice!! I'm scared to eat any food that isn't mushy at this point. I'll give it another day and then if it's still happening I'll call my dr

And I've lost 4 lbs since Tuesday. Happy about that but sure don't want all the complications that come with a band that's too tight

Good evening fellow lapbanders! Just started a new job so it's hard to mix my shakes on the go. What on already mixed shakes do you guys like? I've seen Muscle Milk, Pure Protein, and so many others. Suggestions, thoughts. Any info would be great!

The scale doesn't lie. But as I'm sure most of us know. I don't really "see" my 36 lbs weight loss. I was feeling like I needed some encouragement so u snapped a pic. I'm happy to report I can SEE the difference. I still have a long way to go, but this is a start

a 10 cc band. Darn autocorrect lol

I have 4 ccs in a 10 cox band

Thanks for all the suggestions

Congrats!!! Looking great

Yes I smiled and laughed! He's too funny

same exact thing that I did glad it went well for you too!

no I had no idea until I went for my first fill, my doc sent me to the ER for X-ray then called an we scheduled the surgery for two days later. I just went back last week for my second fill ( he put 2 cc in at the port revision) and it went like a dream

thanks for telling me where to get them because I was going to ask lol. I've been to vitamin shoppe to look around but most if what I see I have to mix, and I'd like to have something to stay in track

thanks for the info! I'll give it a shot I'm all for feeling full!
