Post-Fill Update

OK, this is getting irritating. I was starving this morning but didn't make a shake, so the first thing I had to eat today was a mashed-up avocado at 11.30 am. It went down OK (it was realllly mashed, not thick at all) and then I had a little hummus. Ran out to do some errands and now I just sat down with some refried beans and I can feel the two bites I've taken just sitting there.

I really hope things settle in a little more because I would like to go back to eating regular food again. If it's still a problem I'll call the surgeon on Monday but I'd love to loosen up a bit without losing any fill. We'll see...

On the plus side, I'm down another half pound this morning.

LOVED all your indiscretion comments on the previous post. You guys are funny, and sometimes it's nice to know I'm not the only one who isn't always on the straight and narrow in this process.

Sunday marks three months since my surgery, so I'll recap for those thinking of doing this. It hasn't gone exactly as I expected and hoped, but it is going.

  2. I think the fill will ease as I am sure I said last time. I was worried too but just take care or get and unfill if it gets worse

  3. I'm sorry to hear this fill is going roughly. My advice, try WARM creamy soups for a day. THese fill you up and are easier on the band. And have a few glasses of wine-- seriously, this should help relax your 'stoma.'
    If you still aren't doing well-- I agree, call the doc.
    I hope you will be feeling better soon!
