1st Band Fill - Major Pain

[Ebby42299 8]

I had my first fill on Wednesday. The doctor tried to put 3 cc's in the band but it was too tight and i could not handle it so he ended up just putting in 1.5 cc. My doctor says he wants his patients on 2 days Clear Liquids and 2 days full liquids after fill. I tried to have a very small amount of Tomato Soup with some crackers in it last night and i ended up throwing up. then this morning i tried to eat some eggs and threw up. Is this normal? I hate this feeling. It makes me frustrated and scared because now all i want to do is just drink stuff because i do not want to throw up anymore. Has anyone else had this problem??

You are too tight. What kind of restriction did you have before you had any Fluid put in your band. Was there any fluid in your band from surgery?

sounds like you are too tight.... did you drink Water before you left the Doctors Office?

yeah i drank Water before i left, that when he went from trying to put in 3 cc's to 1.5. This is the only fill that i have ever got. I can keep liquids down at the moment. I am going to wait until Monday and if its not better i will call the doctor. You wouldnt think 1.5 cc would be too much.

I hadn't realised that eggs were a liquid! They can be a really hard food to eat even when you are not too tight.

You may be too tight but it could just be that you are pushing the limits and not doing what you were told to do. Go back to the liquids and then take the next stage slowly. After a fill you have to get used to it and how to eat again. You may be eating faster than you think etc.

Crackers and eggs are not part of the full liquid diet. Please follow your doctor's orders after a fill. My doc has me sign a document agreeing to the post fill diet before I leave his office. Did he put anything i. your band at the time of surgery? Many surgeons do so thT could explain the tightness of the 1.5 cc's. Good luck.

Crackers and eggs are not liquids by any definition! I'm sure you have seen there are many people here who have difficulty with any kind of bread so crackers was just a bad choice...same for eggs! Back to full liquids!!
