First Fill And Pb'ing???



Recommended Posts

I got my first fill today. 2 cc's. I thought I was doing okay but I didn't make it out to my car before I started PB'ing. That was almost 3 hours and I'm still doing it. I have to admitt it has been a VERY stressful day as we've had a family crisis and I've cried pretty much all day. Plus my doctor asked me to drink plain luke warm tap Water while he was doing the fill and I absolutely cannot stand plain water, let alone luke warm water!!!! It makes me gag!!!! Do you think the stress of today or the plain water has made me sick or do you think I've gotten too much for my first fill?? Do you think taking a walk will help?

Did you have fill at time of surgery or do you only have 0.2cc? It's unusual, but not impossible, that you could be too tight. Are you having trouble consuming liquids or are you trying to eat normal foods? I recommend sticking to liquids for the first 48 hours post fill.

I've not tried to eat or drink anything since I got home. I feel like I can't swallow and I've got a "burp" stuck in my throat. Ugh!!! I'm supposed to do liquids for 24 hours and then mushies for 24 hours. I think I'll just go to bed. It's been a bad day!!

If you feel that in your throat, I would recommend going back to the Dr and getting a small amount removed.

Thursday night and Friday day were horrible. I wasn't even able to drink much Water. It hurt so bad. It felt like I was trying to swallow a golf ball. Saturday I could drink my Vitamin water and applesauce. Saturday night I tried to eat a mushie green pepper and onion---no way, it came back up! Today I tried a few bites of chicken, same thing. But this evening I have had a Protein Shake and a vitamin water and they have stayed down and didn't hurt going down. Do you think I was just swollen from the fill, or do you think I still have too much and need to go back for an unfill? I am going to call my Dr. first thing in the morning to see if I can be seen tomorrow. Hopefully this will get taken care of. Even though I'm not really hungry, I have been having head hunger (and the weirdest cravings) like crazy!!! I have not had caffeine or carbonated beverages since the end of May but the last couple of days I think I could have drank a whole case of soda!!! :-(

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
