I had my surgery on June 13th. I was hungry from the start and the hunger continued. Had my first fill on Wednesday July 12th. My Doctor requires 3 days of liquids followed by 3 days of mushies. I was hungry after the fill and it continued.

On Saturday I started mushies. I had a scrambled egg for Breakfast, chili con queso for late lunch and homemade potato Soup for dinner. I had baked a potato to add to the soup to give it some texture. I put a few pieces of it in the cup of soup I was eating. On the 3rd sip, WHAM, a tiny piece of potato slipped through my teeth. I felt that golf ball. I just stopped in my tracks and started praying that it would pass.

I started Pbing, sliming, hiccuping, burping, and then it would start again. Five hours later that part seemed to be over, but my esphagus was buring like hell. I could have supplied a flame thrower all the fire they would need for their tricks. I slept sitting up in bed.

On Sunday it took me all day and most of the evening to drink 2 ozs of Water, 1 Boost, and 1 weak cup of coffee. That's it. It stayed down, but it hurt once I swallowed.

Today is better. I am drinking my Boost real slow, but it doesn't hurt like before. I'll stay on liquids today as well.

Although I have no hunger, and lost 5 lbs during this process, I still want you to revoke my membership in the PB club. I have no interest in attending any more meetings. Just give me my release now and don't call on me again.

Thank you for your quick attention to this.

well for the past week lunch has been hell. I haven't been able to swallow but 2 spoonfuls, but dinner is fine. he says I have irritated my pouch with new stress ( I returned to work 6 weeks after suregery- summer break) and that i need to have liquids for brkfst and lunch for 2 weeks and a regular dinnner. I was so sad, but I chose this- no wonder we lose weight. He said I was looser in the evenigs and food goes down easier then. Pbing was the worst. I will get through this!

So sorry so many of you joined the club! Its not a fun place to be for sure. I'm going Monday to get a slight refill. I hope its not too much and I start the cycle over again.

Hang in there everybody. We'll learn and it will get better. I gotta believe!!! :rofl:

We have to stick together, share our ups and downs, it will get us thru this.

The past week I"ve been drinking the GNC Protein drink in the AM and sometimes even lunch. It seems to give my stomach a rest because then in the afternoon food seems to settle better.

I am still losing weigh so I'm going to hold off on a fill but wonder if I need to do some kind of test to see if I have a port problem? (They couldn't do a fill, couldn't find my stealth port! Wonder where it is?)
