I think something is hung



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill last Thursday, 2 cc's, Friday I was fine. Sat morning I took a FLintsones Vitamin and didnt chew it and I think it is hung up. Ever since then eating is VERY painful and I have been throwing my food back up, at least some of it. I can pass Water through slowly.

Be alarmed or let the vitamin desolve?

Thanks guys, BTW I am down 22 lbs.

80 more to go.

David, I would assume that the Vitamin would have dissolved by now, I think that with the both the pain and the throwing up I would call my doc and discuss with them, could be that the fill is too much right now even though it is only 2 cc's.

hope everything is ok, congratulations on the 22 down!!

i think not chewing that flintstone got you irritated. probably should do fluids for a few days. but of course check with your doc.

I would agree. The Vitamin should be long gone. Some people find that it takes a day or two for a fill to "kick in" It might be fine for a day or two but then you find that you are just too tight. You may need a slight unfill.

I read a lot about others who have had fills that were too tight and waited it out so that it might open up a little. It seems like it doesnt always open up more and if you stay too tight for too long you might risk the health of your band.

Definitely call your doctor. Best of luck to you. Congratulations on the 22 as well :thumbup:

David, I had my first fill Thursday, and I was told that if I throw up at all to revert to liquids for a couple of days to reduce the swelling and irritation around the band that results from a PB. Also, be sure to let the doctor's office know what happened when you next go in. Those were the instructions from my doctor... you should follow whatever your doctor has told you.

Why would you not chew the vitamin. One of the main rules for the band is to chew, chew, chew. Second rule is to crush your medicine or try to get it in a liquid form. You really need to go on liquids and consult your Doctor. Whatever you do always chew chew chew. If you need a pill crusher check your local Dollar store as that is where I purchased mine and it's works good. Best of Luck to you!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
