I had a fill Thursday afternoon. Friday everything seemed ok. I drank liquids to begin with Friday nigh mushy and was fine. Saturday morning I tried my Cereal and it was a really slow go, then lunch of tuna didn't want to go down - not a major stuck, just a little pressure, so I went back to liquids. Sunday morning I did liquids, for lunch I was at my mom's and she fixed some tuna cakes and soft cooked greenbeans- it went fine, just ate slow. Mom sent a tuna cake and some greenbeans home for my dinner and it didn't want to go down at dinner time.

This morning I have drank 2 bottles of Water, 2 cups of coffee, 1 Protein Shake and tried to eat about 5 almonds - the almonds went down, but I still had a little pressure.

The doctor said give it another day before coming in to get a slight unfill.

Have any of you had this issue? Did you wait it out or go get an unfil?

Not getting major stuck, just slight pressure when trying to eat solids- yes I am chewing well and taking tiny bites.

Most people I know wait..a week is not that unusual.....should treat it gentle after a fill also...it can be irritated and inflamed from the fill and continued stress will only keep it irritated....promoting you to get a unfil...then a month from now you wish you didn't.....seen this scenario 100 times.....

I had to relearn how to eat with each fill, the closer I got to the green zone.

As long as you are not having trouble getting liquids down I would give yourself time to get use to the fill. Try smaller bits, chewing a little more and waiting a little longer between bits.

You might be at the green zone. But if it is unmanageable then get a small unfill. Only you know what you can manage.

Good luck to you.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
