so... i had a fill yesterday. i wan 5.0 on a 10.cc band and now i am up to 6.0.

yesterday, i had a fruit smothie hours afters the fill. it took me like 2-3 hours to finish the 16 oz smoothie. after that at night i made a clear chicken Soup with some veggies, and i ate that.it didnt take me as long as the smoothie, but it wasnt easy to eat it either.

today... i'va had 2 strawberries that i ended up trowing up... so am i too tight!? i am worried it might be too tight! but see at 5.0 i was eating pretty much like i didnt have a band... soooo i dont understand. maybe i am just swollen and it should get better in a couple of days? please help!

thank you :biggrin:

Go back to liquids for 2 days and then softs or mushies for 2 days...your stomach needs time to adjust to the change...if at that time you are still experiencing problems call your surgeon and ask for their advice.

You'll be fine as long as you can drink at least 64 ounces of Water a day and get some nutrients down.

My last fill took a few days to get used to but after a week I was back to normal.

As 4my4 said, keep it soft or liquids only for a couple of days until any possible swelling goes down.

If you still have issues on Monday or are frightened, call your surgeon and get his advice.

thank you for replying.

i just got back from the doctor, i called because i took a sip of milk and that didn't go through, and water was not going through so much.... so i called, they worried, and made me go.

i lost 3 lbs between yesterday and today... which for me is great! lol, but my doctor was worried, truth is after my fell yesterday morning and today i didn't get any food, and not even a cup of water, so he took .5 out, now i am on 5.5 and hopefully this works this time... i want to have restriction, but i guess 6 is too much for me.
