STARVING after first fill?
sunflower80 replied to juliansmom2003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am in the same boat. I had my first fill yesterday and I am also starving. I got 2cc's yesterday which my dr. said was typical. I was in the chat room last night and asked some experienced bandsters in there. They said I was hungry cuz it was liquids but when I get to eat that will be the true test on whether I feel any restriction at all. I don't get to eat until Sunday mushies and Monday reg foods. We can do this. Just gotta try to get our minds off the hunger. I am trying to drink a lot of water -
The fill went good. No big deal. I only got 2 cc's though. I thought I would get more. I am on liquids for the next 2 days so we will see if I have restriction when I try to eat tomorrow night. I hope I do.
When do you get your next fill?
-
Well, I had my first fill today. It was no biggie. I thought I would freak when I had to stand up and drink with the needle in my stomach but it really didn't bother me. I ended up getting 2 cc's. I am nervous and anxious to see how the next few days go. I have only had water so far but I plan on having a protein shake here in a bit. Anybody have any fantastic smoothie recipes? Hopefully I will start losing weight again since I have gained a few lbs. :cursing:

Im doing ok I guess. Lost 23 lbs in a month but have gained 4 back. I get my first fill today..>YAY!!!! I am so excited and nervous. How are you?
-
amen!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Whoohoo! Keep up the good work. I get my first fill tomorrow. I am ready
-
It's ok. did you think the needle stick for the fills hurt? Mine did when he took all of my fluid out but I was also like 18 hours out of surgery so maybe my abdomen was tender. I usually have a pretty high tolerance for pain.

Kentucky. Born and raised in Illinois but been in KY for 10 years so I guess I should start saying I am from KY.

Thanks! Happy belated Bday to you too. Where are you from?

Have you lost much? I was down 23 lbs. But since my swelling has went down and I am on normal foods again. I have gained about 5 of that back. Very frustrating. I can't seem to get it off. Watching what I eat and walking 2-3 miles a day.

No. My band came with a little in it and he took that out the day after the first surgery cuz he thought maybe I was too swollen and too tight but unfortunately that did not make the vomitting stop either. So I have absolutely nothing in mine at all.

That's cool. I hope I feel some restriction soon. I like it right after surgery. I few bites and I was full!
