i need some help!! I got my second fill on Thursday - so now I'm at 7 cc's. Ever since then I've felt constantly full but I haven't eaten much solids - mostly yogurt, tea, etc. How do I know if I've gotten myself clogged up? I'm not throwing up or anything - just constant fullness. if this is what I'm supposed to feel that's fine. I'm just scared I clogged it and don't know it.

Any info you guys can give is greatly appreciated!!

:unsure:

You might be a tiny bit overfilled...stay on liquids and mushies for a few day then try a small amount (2-3 bites) of well chewed Protein. If you are still having the same feelings get an appt for a small unfill of 0.25-0.5ml. Let us know how you do.

Mimi gave good advice- don't push solids at this point. Stick to Soups and mushies and Protein shakes. You aren't 'clogged' because if you were stuck believe me you would DEFINITELY know it! Take small bites of food and chew it until it's like baby food. You are probably swollen too.

If you can't eat solids after a few days call your doctor. My last fill was tight and still is-I can eat solids, but in very liited amounts and it takes me a while to finish.

Good luck!

I'm wondering the same thing, I just got a half a cc on wednesday, so now I'm at a total of 6cc or 7cc. I've been doing halfs because one of the fills I got was way too tight a few months ago. And now I'm wondering if mine is too since the last time I got a fill and this past week will make a full cc, I cant eat solids and liquids will be slightly hard to get down too, but they go down yet I have had this bubble feeling like a gas bubble since Thursday and it won't go away, it went away once because I kept forcing liquids down so I didn't get dehydrated or something but it came back later that night. It feels like I need to burp and I try but then it feels like vomit o.O.It makes sounds too ahh I've been only having liquids. I thought it was because my stomach was swollen. I forced myself to vomit (tha'ts not good, I know =/) today to see if it would help and it didnt. So should I wait it out and see if it goes away? Or should I just tell my doctor? I don't want to take it out because for once it's helping me to not eat so much and I'm actually losing weight again.

And Sorry for posting this on your thread, but if someone is has pretty much the same prob I am, I thought I'd add it =/

My doctor calls for full liquids for 24 hours and then mushies for 24 hours. Since today is only Sat I would not be on solids yet. Try mushies tomorrow and see how that goes.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
