Hello Brennie, I am so glad to hear from you. You posted a message to me right before you went in for surgery. How are you feeling?????? I took GAS X last night and I guess it is what helped. I have had this a few times and when I have it I have gas like I have never had before. I understand for the first time why my husband releases gas every so often now. Ha!! The surgery was still worth it!!!! What are gas x strips? I took chewable tablets.

I do not know where some of my messages have gone either. Glad to know I am not the only one. Also, I do not know how to send personal messages. I didn't even know that was possible until today. Let me know what the doc says. I hope your port is okay. I had my first fill today. I was just a tiny bit nervous but it was fine. They put in a little medicine that deadens the site and never felt the fill. After they put a certain amount in she had me start drinking small sips of water. She would adjust it according to how I felt. I sure hope it is not too tight. I have to drink liquids for 48 hours. That is fine....I guess. I grilled hot dogs last night and they sure sound good right now.

Hi Suzie,

Yes it is difficult to figure out the posts and replys haha, I think I've read them all and than see another one! Your fill sounded easy. Why the liq again?, they never said anything about some of this stuff,,, I prefer to be well educated. No surprize please. If your eating grilled hot dogs (yumm) You are out a while with your surg. I haven't got to abay food yet. But MD told me today I could eat some cottage cheese. I chewed it up well, and boy was it good. My protien intake has been too low.

A hot dog would fix that right up haha, Ok lets see how it goes with the fill. How exciting!! You skinny girl haha > Take care, Brenny

I think you will find that doctors differ on when to get a fill and what to eat after a fill. Mine wants liquids 48 hours after fills. She told me some doctors let you go back to eating. I ask her why liquids and she said the fill irratates the stoma...not sure I believe that but the next line got me. You don't want anything to get stuck. Oh yea! I stayed on liquids for 24 hours and then tried a cracker today. Chewed it real well and it went down When I got home another Emmi was waiting on my email and it said you can eat within 24 hours and this is a program that my doctor approved and sends to my email so...... tonight I ate a baked potato with cheese on top. Sounded soft and it went down. In fact, it went down so well that now I am wondering if the band is tight enough.
