Fill question..is this normal?...Help?



Recommended Posts

I had my 2nd fill 3 days ago. I stayed on the liquids for a day and then slowly am trying to add soft foods. I can eat an entire yogurt, no problem . Earlier today I had a protien shake and could only drink about 3 ounces. I figured maybe I was still full from the yogurt (2.5 hours before)Tonight I tried to eat some scrambled eggs and got about 3 very small bites down, I felt horrible, it felt like something was stuck, then some came back up. I am wondering if I am too full, did I eat the wrong thing, did I eat too fast? or maybe I just need to take more time with the liquids. Is this normal? Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

It's only been a few days, you may still have some swelling from the fill. Maybe try going back to mushies for a day or 2, then start with solids again slowly and chew, chew, chew very small bites. It's a whole new way of eating your food with the band. I'm still learning every day. Some days are better than others. Yesterday I was able to eat Ok - no pain, small amounts....but today has been very difficult - a lot of pain on VERY little food.....Each day is a little different and for me, I just take each day at a time. I'm praying for a good day tomorrow, cause I'm hungry!

Also, make sure you're able to get your Water in or call your doctor because you can get dehydrated very quickly and if you PB it's important to do liquids the rest of the day and sometimes even the next day to allow the swelling to go down from being irritated.

Good luck in finding what works for you!

eggs are very touchy for some bandsters. A lot of people just can't eat them without getting stuck. I learned the best way for me to eat eggs is to fry them easy over, then cut them up with the runny yolk coating them. I don't have a problem this way.

Thanks you guys. I have loosened up a bit. I think that I will get wait a bit for eggs. I guess this is a learning process throughout the entire time.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
