So i had my fourth fill on tuesday. I now have 9cc in my 14 ccs band. Im soo frustrated because after the fill i stayed at my drs for 30 min drank 4 cups of Water and everything was fine. Went home and about 4 hrs after the fill tried some chicken broth. It went down with some pain! Ahhh! So the rest of the day i stayed on water only and that hurt too. Wed morning had about 2 spoons of yogurt and that went down ok. For lunch tried some Soup and that was ok. And than for dinner some Jello and got stuck and threw it all up. The reason I'm frustrated is because the same thing happened last month and i ended up getting an unfill. I just don't understand why I'm able to have the water at the dr and than i go home and have trouble. I don't know whether to go and get an unfill again (which i really don't want) or just stay on liquids over the weekend and see how i feel next week. My question is does this happen to anybody else? you're ok at the office but than have trouble at home? I just don't understand it and its making me so frustrated :-(

Ps: i was banded aug/2012 and have lost 39 pounds.

Beautiful b thanks!!! I'm doing ok now but wow for a few days after that fill I was beginning to think I was going back for small unfill. But I guess it's settled in now and I can eat and drink fine!! But it has put a stop to my late night eating. I am thankful for that!!! I have tried to eat late in the night and my band says NO NO SUZANNE!!! Lol. Thanks for your response!!

Dear juju1279,

I was banded at same time and have lost 39lbs also. I had a fill last Wednesday and can only drink thin liquids. I am on fourth fill and last time had to return to the doctor for unfill. I'm trying to avoid unfill so am sticking to the liquid phase until I can no longer tolerate it. I think it has to do with stress for me. It's also forcing me to really change my bad habits but I do feel I should be able to eat solids.
