I haven’t been doing to good since my fill on Saturday 04/16. I have had a lot of PB and throwing up this week the only times I don’t is when I eat soup. I can drink with no problem (when I drink a slim fast because it’s thicker I could here it gurgle when it goes down), its just when I try solids that I PB really bad (lasting an hour at times) and I want to make sure that my stoma is not just swollen and that I am actually tight so I am going to try my best not to get an un-fill.

I will be going on liquids for 3-4 days or until I can see if I really need a un-fill. Can anyone recommend and good Protein Drink and also tell me where you bought them!!

I am going to do a Protein drink for breakfast and one for lunch and a small meal.

Good Idea for you to go slow on your recent fill.
I myself do a mixture of milk and 100% whey 23 grams of Protein but I am thinking of adding already made to my grocery list since I hate to take the time to mix it..
What is exactly on Solids are you eating that are causing you to PB??
Hope you do not have to be unfilled just hang in there and see if you loosen up a bit.

This is exactly what I would do (and did)! I may even go a little longer - possibly a week... then again, Im not sure if I can actually last on liquids for a week. Thats hard.

I like the slim fast lo-carb protien shakes, also the atkins brand shakes. Both are easy to find: Walmart, grocery stores.

Good luck, and keep us updated on your recovery.

wait!!!!!! I just re -read your post. You said a small meal for supper?!? NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! please dont. Try just liquids for a couple of days, then ease into mushies (pudding, think soups) for 2 more days. Trust me, this could determine the end result of getting an unfill!

I was so worried about not lossing in the beggining of my fill because I could'nt eat but I am doing really good and I also have restriction.

I am afraid to get another fill though because the first week was so hard!
