First fill too tight????



Recommended Posts

I got my first fill 4.28.09. Since then I have spit up 5 times and thrown up once. I am scared now i am going to have slippage! I am going to call my dr tomorrow as soon as their office opens. How does this happen?

You have probably not changed your eating habits. Slow way down and cut ALL of your food into pieces the size of a pencil eraser. It makes a huge amount of difference.

The pencil eraser thing is working for me too. I tend to take to big of bites and then swallow down the big stuff. Then I am pretty well in a mess. I have started the baby spoon thing and the bites the size of a pencil eraser. They have both been working.

I had steamed broccoli and cheese today. That was the first thing other than mashed potatoes that I have been able to keep down since my fill last week. Success!

Now I will work on adding a new item each meal and cutting everything up first. I am also only using small dishes and small portions. If the portion stays down after an hour and I am still hungry, then I allow myself another small portion. It works and the scales love it!

I am still in heaven over the broccoli and cheese!!!!

Cutting up your food is the key at first when you are still learning. Anything you can pick up and eat with your hands, you will definately revert back to old habits of huge bites and too big chunks. Cut everything up and eat it with utensils. I still do this a lot, and it's helped me with my sliming episodes. Also, people's stomach gets a little swollen and cranky when you get a fill. Take it easy for a couple of days after a fill. I also never get a fill during the middle of my cycle. I'm ALWAYS tighter during that week. It may be different for women who take b/c pills, because the hormones are more steady all month, I don't know. Just something to think about.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
