Stuck in the Middle with Food....


Still... Stuck in the middle with Food....That was a 70's song parody for you youngster Bloggers out there... I can not eat much solid yet and it is 3 full days since my fill. I was at 4.1cc in a 14cc/APL band and he added 2.8cc thursday to make it 6.9cc... which seems to me shouldn't get me too tight. but.... The proof is in the pudding, which is pretty much all my band with keep down. I mean.... I can't eat the grilled chicken that I eat to get my protein but I have been able to eat some canned chili and soy crisps....which are one of my faves... Glenny's Soy Crisps. I eat them with Tuna salad, Chili, chicken salad, etc. They replace crackers for me. And are low carb, low calorie, and have like 9 grams of protein per serving. They are sorta like a rice cake but taste better to me. Anyway, I am hoping to have a little less restriction by tomorrow.

  5. Hope the fill settles in some for you. Could be that you are already at a point were the last fill was a tad too much, but see how it goes.

  6. It can take up to a week for the fill to settle in...keep to the mushier stuff and you will get back to normal soon.

  7. Like others have said.. you do tend to be tight right after the fill.. that's why some docs require liquids then mushies for a few days.
    Now that you are getting some signifcant restriction remember to chew food well.. It took me two months to learn this simple lesson.. now I can pretty much each any food as long as it is mush before it goes down.. good luck Maria
