Sometimes I am very sensitive after a fill and it takes me almost a week before I am able to really tolerate solid foods with out feeling extremely full or Pbing a little. I have been very sensitive to the band and my fills every since I have had it, I have only had 3 fills in two years. If you can pass Water without difficulty I would give it a few days and maybe just do some Protein Shakes, yogurt and other mushy foods. You may have some swelling since it has been a while since you had a fill. Good luck, just make sure you are taking in fluids so not to get dehydrated.

It sounds like you just need to relearn bite size and chew chew chew. I always have to relearn after a fill and it does take a while. As long as you can get Water down I would give it some time, eat smaller bites slower. Good luck.

If you haven't had any restriction for a while then you have probably slipped back into taking bigger bites, eating quickly etc - you probably need to relearn how to eat.

Elcee called it... I'm feeling just as nervous as you are. Haven't had the band as long, only 6 months, but I've been able to eat pretty much anything. But last fill I suddenly found myself throwing up more, PBing, sliming. But I think it's because I've slipped back to old habits. I'm eating too fast, not chewing enough, not thinking about what I eat...

Today I got another fill because I've been hungry all the time (even though throwing up, etc) so I'm totally nervous... How the hell am I going to be able to eat? I want to eat fast. I want to eat a lot. But I got the band so I can't. Which is WHY I got the band. But it's also freaking me out a little.

Good luck to you!!!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
