October 21, 201015 yr Ok, Had my 2nd fill, I am so hungry but find that I am having trouble eating things, throwing up stuff is not fun. Anyone else find that they can only eat "bad" foods like crackers and cheese or things that slide. I so miss my chicken and veggies. KP

KP Sounds to me like you might be too tight or just need to give your fill time to settle in. Try to do mushies or Protein drinks for a couple of days and if then you try hard proteins/veggies and you are throwing up, get ahold of your fill doc and make and appt for an unfill. It's NOT normal to be throwing up and can cause long term damage to your esophogas and band. As far as the slider foods go, if they are a temptation for you, get them out of your house...good luck
October 21, 201015 yr How long ago did you have that fill? You should be kind to your band after a fill, eating 'soft' foods. I had a fill two days ago and at this point I'm eating things that can only be classified as 'mushies'. In a day or two I'll try something more solid and if I still have problems will go back to mushies. As long as you can get liquids down, I'd give it a week or so, introducing mushies as you can and then solid foods. .
October 21, 201015 yr When was you fill? My doctor requires 24 hours full liquids and then 24 hours mushies. If you try to move to solids to soon that could be causing your problem. If it has been several days and you still can not get solid Protein down call the doctor for a small unfil. For the 24 hours full liquids I have Protein shakes and tomatoe red pepper Soup. For mushies I do greek yoghurt, and canned chicken (made with low fat laughing cow cheese). If it has been several days and you think you need an unfil then eat along the lines of full liquids until you can get in to see the doctor. Use protein shakes to ensure you are getting enough protein. Keep in mind I am a recovering carb addict. Get rid of the crackers.
