i wanted to now if anyone starts all over with there liquids for a week after each fill becuz i was told to start over as if i had the surgury again liguids 1 week , the soft foods 2 week, then what ever i can handle after that but when do u need to get a fill i was told when u can eat a whole sandwich so now i got my third fill and i was needing some advice dioes anyone else hear the noise in there throat like your stomach hungry what does that mean thank for the adive by the why

3/5/06=360pound

7/12/06 = 329pounds

My Dr. has me do clear liquids all day the day of my fill, full liquids the next day, then mushies for a day, then back to regular diet. I went for my fill when I was just not satisfied unless I ate a large amount,and I had not trouble eating anything, it didn't matter much how I chewed, so I thought it was time,before I began gaining back what I had lost. I now have some restriction, tho I can still eat more than I think I shoud. I am working on that! I do have to chew carefully and watch what I eat now, which is helping. I am unsure what noise in the throat you have. I do not have noise in my throat that I am aware of, I do find I burp as my food passes from the pouch, it has to be air moving, it is always unexpected... not something I feel before it happens!

Good Luck to you!

I started all over with liquids as the doctor advised.It made sense to me as the fill could cause some swelling. I have been doing warm liquids since 7.12.06. I have also had yogurt during this time. I plan to do liquids/mushies until tomorrow and return to solids (fish) next week. Maybe by Thursday I'll try some chicken/hamburger meat. Keep in mind I am very conservative as I am self pay and don't want any complications.

Hope this helps

My doctor's never told me to do this. I've had small fills though, .2 or .3 cc at a time.

And its time for another fill when I think it is, there's no food test like whether you can eat this or that or whatever. When I stop losing or feel like I need another I can have it, although my doc has been perfectly happy with 1-2kg per month, the month I only lost 1kg I asked for another fill!
