Did u do liquids for 2 days? How did they go down? If u can't keep liquids down u are too tight and need an unfill..if u can keep liquids down I would go back to them for another 2 days and then do soft foods and work your wayup to solids...when in doubt call your doc

What I find after each fill is that I need re re-learn how to eat a wee bit. What and how I was able to eat pre-fill is much different than after a fill.

I suggest you first take a look at how much is on the fork and how well you're chewing. My clinic always tells me that the food should be the size of the nail on my pinkie finger. I don"'t always listen and sometimes pay the price.

I will take heed to this note of what size food should be since I got stuck yesterday and I too have 4cc's in my band. "the size of my nail on my pinkie finger", yep from now on...thx

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
