Confused - do I really need another fill yet?

I'm due to see my Dr for a fill next Thursday (the 6th of November) but I'm not sure I actually need a fill again yet.

I thought I did a week ago or so, which is why I made my appt. I was getting hungry again more quickly, and seemed to be able to eat more.

But this week has been a bad week for me. I've had a bad reaction to two meals - a vietnamese spring roll, which I think was wrapped in a wrapper made of gelatinous rice, and a pork chop that I too fast. I ended up vomitting copiusly both times and since then, it seems I can only eat a tiny bit before feeling tight in the chest and sliming. In fact this morning I had one egg and was spitting up saliva for 1/2 an hour.

I'm stilll getting hungry between meals and I'm thinking that if I ate slower or avoided certain foods (rice and chicken breast just doesn't agree with me anymore, and maybe egg too now) then I should be okay, but I'm wondering if I should put off my fill until I've mastered this restriction a little more?

I would wait a couple of weeks. I think that you need to eat smaller portions, and maybe eat a little something every 2 -3 hours. When I had a fill for the first time, I had to really slow down. It brought me back to the first few days after surgery.

Sounds like you may have irritated your stoma and is probably a little swollen and now it feels tight again. I would wait as well. Make sure you cut your protein meats up in tiny pieces, example, look at your thumbnail divided into quarters, and cut your protein in quarter pcs the same size. and put that fork down after every bite. slow down, no fluids with your meals, it make it worse. wait aslong 30-60 for fluid intake after any meal. Good luck
