Hi all,

I have been doing really well since my surgery two months ago. I have lost about 46 pounds, and I feel good about that. I went for my first fill last Thursday (10-29) and the surgeon asked me if I got hungry. I told him yes, and he decided to do a fill. I know nothing about fills, because I have never had one before. He put in 3 cc's, and told me to stay away from carbs and eat lots of Protein. I left that afternoon and wound up posting on here because I got so sick. I could not eat at all. I guess I should have known not to eat solids for a few days, but I didn't. Anyway, since then, I have had at least one or two bouts of PBing every day. I can't eat anything solid without it coming back up. I have tried everything. I can drink liquids fine, but solids are not doing well. I talked to the nurse this afternoon, and she said my doctor was in surgery and his scheduling nurse had left for the day, but she said maybe I needed to have some taken out. Is it normal to be sick every day? I have lost seven more pounds in a week, but I feel really bad. I have little energy, and it is getting harder to keep up with my class of six year olds when I feel this way. I wish now I had told him I never get hungry at all, because I was losing and still able to eat before the fill. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't be trying any solids for a few days. Liquids and soft mushies are best until the stomach irriation goes away. It takes time to get back to neutarl.

Best of luck and do see your doc for sure if it is still bad on liquids and mushies.

I agree that you need to do 24-48 hours on liquids only, then proceed slowly through soft/mushies, small quantities at a time. Since you can keep liquids down you are not in an emergency situation, but if things aren't better by Monday maybe having 1cc taken out would be good.

Best wishes,

Mimi

You need to go get a slight unfill as soon as possible.

I only eat mushies that day and then back to regular foods... you are too tight... just have them take a little bit. I kept myself tight like that for 3 weeks and the scale went down quick but I was really sick... took me three more fills to get it right. Now its right.
