Too Tight Or Just Swollen?

[Lollicatt 36]

Hello! I got a fill yesterday of 2cc, giving me a total of 4cc in a 10cc band. My docs orders are 1day liquids, 1day soft, then solids. I had my liquids yesterday just fine but could tell I was swollen. Today I fixed tuna and took a couple normal bites, and it hurt, so took a couple more very very miniscule bites, with about 2 minutes between, and it still hurt. Nothinh was stick our came back up but I am burping and hiccupping alot. So realizing that I can't do softs uet, I went and got a Protein Shake and it seems a little UN comfortable too. Am I just still swollen, or too tight? Im still waiting on call, From doc.

I think you're swollen...try another day of liquids and then try mushies again

You sound swollen, I would try a few days of liquids before I went to get a unfill. Good luck.

Try liquids for a bit longer and when you do soft try mushy rather than flaky.

Thanks for all your input. Im hoping too that i'm just swollen and maybe ill find that im in the green zone when I go down. :-)

Any time you cause yourself pain you need at least a day of liquids...tuna can be tricky for me unless it is loaded with mayo...

Thank you, I, am still only doing liquids. I tried mashed sweet potatoes last night and it, still, hurt. If I still hurt tomorrow i'm going to call doc again. Is this sometimes normal?

Its still very uncomfortable for me to eat mushies. :-(

Girl i feel the same!!! I got another cc on Monday, bringing me to 5cc ( standard size band) and my dr said no solids till the wknd, just liquids. i nibbled on a corner of a cracker and was fine- but when i tried to make it soggy in my soup-no way! Give yourself a few more days of full liquids- maybe make a smoothie with your Protein to get some calories and stuff. It will get better each day- my husband ( an er/icu nurse) says he thinks im swollen.

Good luck mama, o and btw i want to eat up that dog of yours- OMG IS HE CUTE!! My 18mth old daughter immediately pointed to him and said "doggie" lol

Thanks for yor input, im sitting at the docs now. I don't want an unfill if i'm just swollen but they told me to come in. I certainly don't want to mess anything up. Will keep yall updated.

So....I was too tight. Did a barium swallow and you could see the itsy bitsy whole. They took .5 cc out. Hopefully that is the magic number!
