Ove what will help until I can got to dr



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I just got a 7 cc fill in a 10 band and was happy that I can finally feel it...but, it is so tight...chicken got stuck last night and threw up. I was literally up all night. I called dr. And he saw me today I was expecting an unfit but don't want to start gaining, I am able to get fluids Down ate crackers, broth, and bowl of ice cream today. So when I get to office he said he doesn't think I need an unfit I was feeling better when I was there...now I am home and drank a Protein Shake for dinner 2 pieces of cheese and now feel very tight and am so wishing I would have let him take some Fluid out...I have to wait until tues now....ughhhh

Any ideas of what to do until then?

If this is a good fill why am I still hungry yet so tight

I am about ready to go to er do those drs know how to take fluid out

Please please respond...thanks and best of luck to all

I had a fill 2 Tuesdays ago & was miserable, regurgitation after everything. My dr says fluids for 7 days after a fill. so not even purred food! Drink cold cold things, & slowly. Your stomache swells after you throw up, making it harder to keep stuff down. Small sips of Water all throughout your day so you don't get dehydrated. Trust me, your body will adjust in a week, & you can start eating mushy foods. But thus is where you want to be. no portions over a small plate. Lose the appetite girly, this is where you want to be!!

7 days of liquids after a fill seems a bit extreme to me, but you always want to listen to your dr. You also need to take into account that if you do get stuck, you will have some swelling which will make you tighter. Personally, I have to do 2-3 days of liquids after a fill, but that's my own choice. My Dr says only 24 hours, but my stomache is pretty sensitive, and I'm more comfortable with closer to 3 days. When was your fill? I also can't do extremely cold liquids. They will not go down the week after a fill. i do better with room temperature, cool, or warm, but not cold. Make sure you're trying to get your Protein and fluids in, when you're dehydrated you get tighter also.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
