Should I skip fill?



Recommended Posts

I am do for another fill but since my last one only liquids go down. If I eat solids it has to be mush.

Otherwise it hurts.

So I am thinking I am finally at the perfect spot. I have lost 3 pounds in the past two weeks.

Do you think I sould pass on the fill that I am scheduled for tomorrow?

U are too tight. U need to be filling your pouch with solids. This will just lead to big problems, u can't use your band for that kind of restriction. Have about 1/2 of the amount of fill u just had removed. I was too tight and always getting stuck and I had .1 cc (yes that little bit) removed and I am PERFECT.

You need a slight unfill!

That's not perfect- keep your appointment and get a slight unfill instead of a fill.

Thank you. I will go and have some removed. I am getting enough Protein and calories. Keeping track of all of that.

I just have to chew a LOT more than usual if I even want solids. I just had a 1/2 cup of chili, still had to really chew.

I get full a lot faster than I did before my last fill. Which makes me feel good, but when something gets hung, it kills me.

Definitely get an unfill. Even 0.25 - 1.00 cc can make a HUGE difference.

Well, I went in yesterday and the doctor took a look. The barium flowed nicely and he said that he sees that it could be tightened a bit more. So he put in .30

He said that it is most likely from morning sinuses and that in the morning your stomach is sometimes swollen.

Since I am better in the afternoon.

Going to try it for a few days and go back if I need to.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
