Today I got my 4th fill! Now there is 4 cc's (I think) in my 10 cc's band! Today it was under radiology because I havent felt restriction at all!!!!!! Surgery was October 19th and Im able to eat bread,rice, everything (healthy of course, down 44 pounds) BUt today, I had soup and I had the worst feeling!!!! How can liquids get stuck!!!! and wa stuck for at least 15 minutes! The only thing Im able to keep down is hot tea! Is this normal?? will this pass tomorrow? I like the restriction but the pain?? NO!!!! Someone please help!!!!

Not normal!!, I had this problem where I could barely keep water down. Call your Dr. you may need a little unfill.

My fill nurse says only clear liquids for 2 days and then only mushies for 2 days. Did your soup have anything in it? Or was it thick like potato?

As long as you can drink clear liquids freely I would give yourself a couple of days to see if the restriction is caused by temporary swelling. If at any time you can't drink liquids call your doc as soon as possible. I am way too tight and any little stuck episode or PB causes immediate swelling and barfing. You don't want to live like that and I have an appt for a small unfill.

Best wishes,

Mimi

It was Chicken Noodle I think I may have swallowed a few noodles!!!!

Yes, my Dr says that I needed to drink liquids, clear for 2 days, and full for 2 days. I cheated a little on Sunday. Wed was my fill, had a little chicken patty and 1 perogie. Everything came up. Was stuck all day yesterday. I was swollen. Todya, I am not stuck, but taking it real easy on food.

I had my 4th fill on Thursday. I ate chicken noodle soup last night and I was OK then about 10 min later I took a drink of tea and that got stuck. Maybe the noodles swelled up? I think I will leave the Chicken Noodle alone for a while.
