I had my first fill last week. I have a total of 4cc in my band. In the morning, i seem to get my breakfast down ok with no problems. For the past several nights, I have been unable to eat dinner. It just comes right back up and the same thing with lunch the last 2 days. I have no other symptoms, so not real sure what is going on. When I do successfully eat a meal, Im hungry a couple hours later. I am chewing my food to complete mush (at LEAST 30 seconds) and waiting between each bite.

Any suggestions?

Thx,

Maria

What are you eating? Its usually breakfast that will give you problems if you're gonna have any problems.

Sounds like you may be too tight, or your having a bad case of acid reflux. If its your first fill, your stomach may just need time to adjust, and maybe you should do just liquids for a day or two until it calms down, good luck!

My dr has me drink liquids for 2 days then my mushies until I can keep everything down. In other words I had to eat mushies two days then try some reg easy to chew foods if I purged then I went back to mushies one day and so on 4 cc is a big first fill. I got 2 cc my first fill and now only have 3.5 cc total and I was banded in dec. 22.but everyone is different. I have been having reflux at night but it's getting better now so I'm not going to infill. You may consider unfill. I can only drink in mornings and eat between 11-7 then I tighten up in eve and cannt eat also this helps to reduce risk of night time acid reflux. I just have premier protein drink in am and one in eve if I get hungery. You have to watch cals though if you do this each premier protein is 160 cal 30 gms protein

i was banded 3-13 and got my first fill this past tuesday. i found out that i was given 4cc's at surgery and they topped it off with 1cc at my first fill. it is sunday night and i am still having a hard time keeping anything solid down. I even have trouble with blended protein and banana shakes. before i got the fill i felt great and could eat almost anything....chicken, steak, nuts, etc. but now i feel pretty bad just because i'm hungry and can't keep anything down. Is this normal for a first fill? I didn't go back on Friday to get some taken out because I thought I just needed to adjust but I thought I would feel better by now. HELP!!!!
