Could anyone please tell me what their doctor allows them to eat or drink before a fill. the lady in my doctor's office said I could have nothing that day, not even water. My appointment is at 2 pm and I have a 3 hour drive to get there. I don't think I can go without a sip of water or protein drink or clear soup or something. OK I am weak....help please...I am waiting for another lady in the office to call me back...hope the first one was mistaken.....

Could you guyes please tell me were you allowed to eat or drink anything on the day of the fill. The young lady told me I couldn't have anything at all and my fill is scheduled for 2 pm on Monday. I don't think I can go all day without a sip of water or something....please help.....

I had my surgery on the 20th of July.....lost 17 lbs. in 6 weeks. Lost all restriction.....had a small fill in Dr.'s office on Thursday....felt no restriction.....now today....I think I have some restriction...but what is weird....I ate...and then about 45 minutes later I felt like something was stuck for the very first time.....I don't have the feeling of being full until about 30-40 minutes after I have eaten....shouldn't it only be 20 minutes....maybe my brain is a little slow. Was going to go for more fill next week. The Dr. said next time he would do under a fluoro. I'm confused...I know I am eating too much...I stopped loosing weight...I really liked it after surgery when I could only eat 1/2 cup at a time of anything I wanted....will I ever get that back...it sure worked for me....if takes 45 minutes for me to know I am full I'm in trouble....any comments please.

Soy protein is great for menopause, great for high cholesterol and really great for your overall cardiovascular health.....

I'm also afraid I haven't eaten properly....I don't think I chew as well as I should....I eat with a baby spoon....I never take in more than a 1/2 cup at a time, but I do eat more often....I hope I am not working my stomach to much....I sure hope my band don't slip....I don't PB or slime....will the doctor be able to tell if I have hurt my band....can they see the scar tissue.....

I am feeling fine but have been reading about slippage. I could never eat more than 1/2 cup of anything, I started on solids after four weeks which was ok with my Doctor...I have problem chewing my food well...I use baby spoons...te dentist says the inside of my mouth is very small...I have never slimed or PB'd....sure hope I havent damaged my band....

I thought I was doing so well. Since surgery 5 weeks ago I have lost 17 lbs....will go Thursday for first appointment and possibly first fill. I thought I had some restrictiion still until a few days ago. Now it is like I am not even banded. Is this normal.....help please!!!!

Are you guys still swollen...I am...its not red or irritated...I am on mushies....trying to get in the protein...it could be gas....how are you all doing....

Thanks DeLarla for the comments....the area is not inflammed. They had to put a low profile port.....I carry my weight in my legs and hips....do you still feel your port or your band....

I feel like I have a small brick in the middle and to the left of my port. I don't know if it is gas or is this normal. How long will it last??? Any comments would be appreciated. How long does it usually take for swelling to go down and your middle to feel normal.....

I have the hiccups and I guess it isn't good....does anyone ever get the hiccups....

Somebody please tell me it will get better....still gassy....finally getting the blended foods correct...seem like I should be up and around more....try to ride my stationery bike...still don't feel like getting out...it is so hot in Louisiana this time of year....I must be the biggest wimp of all time....

I'm worried I am only 4 days post op...beginning to feel nauseated...the patch has worn off. I believe I am drinking to fast....I didn't realize how hard a habit that is to break....haven't pb'd yet...sure hope that doesn't start....will say a prayer for you Darcey...I worrya bout not getting enoough protein....should I use a child's sippy cup to help me slow down, comments please....

I would like to know how long it took you guys to go back to work. I may be offered a position tomorrow....but today I feel like "heck" Comments Please!!!!! 4 days post op

I worry about getting enough nutrients so I have been trying to drink a Boost in the morning...the second day after surgery I was really weak from lack of nourishment....I guess it may be to soon for a protein drink???? Also, I started putting "Beano" in the broth or strained soup last night....not sure yet if it helps.
