I was just filled yesterday and could NOT get liquids down after I got home. I couldn't even keep my saliva in, I kept sliming and throwing up. The band was obviously too tight. My doctor met me at midnight at the office to unfill me. I felt MUCH better.

However today I still feel kinda nauseated, is this normal after a fill? I've been able to sip one slim fast and a few ounces of Water which has taken me all day. I also got down 1/2 of a pudding.< /p>

No problem with my saliva today. I've just been feeling kinda yucky all day, maybe from the stress on my esaphagus from throwing up so much yesterday??

I've never been good about just liquids then mushies for a few days after a fill. I couldn't "cheat" right now if I wanted to. Is this how I should feel for a few days?

Can you PLEASE tell me what you go through, what you are able to eat and amounts for the first 2-4 days after a fill????

If this is normal, I don't want to go get unfilled for nothing. I am determined to help the band work so it can help make me thin...

Help please!!!:confused2:

Thank you,

Kellie from sunny AZ

I was filled yesterday and I'm pretty tight. I can't hardly get anything but mashed potatoes down or I shoot it right back out of my mouth. ddon't drink and eat at the same time. that's what makes me bring it back out of my mouth. its not vomiting cause its just the liquid that I haven't even swallowed.

When getting fills its always best to take it lite 'n easy. You never know your doc, but you should ask that they go conservative. In my life this really is the only thing I am conservative about. :thumbup:

kelrob, take it easy. Just keep doing liquids until you are feeling up to moving on to more and more solids. You should always be able to eat solids, so if it gets to the point where you are noticing you can't eat them, then you still might be too tight. It will take a few days however for your insides swelling to go down. Take good care of yourself!

I had my first fill this past Wednesday and while I can get down fluids, solids and even some mushies make me hurt and I've had the worst gassy feeling. I'm not sure if these foods just don't agree with me, if I'm not chewing well enough, or I'm just eating too much or too fast. I haven't thrown anything up, I just hurt. I measure everything out so I don't think I'm overeating. I've made a conscious effort to chew and eat slowly, so I'm not sure what I'm experiencing now. I was pretty tight the first day, but liquids were going down. Any thoughts or suggestions?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
