fill confussion



Recommended Posts

I was filled last week. It was too tight. I went to the waiting room and had to drink Water. I think I might have gulped it. I couldn't handle the pain. I got so freaked out by the pain in my chest. I told them I thought it was too tight. They had added 2cc's. So I went back and he took out 1cc. Now I think it is too loose. I made an appointment for this coming week. My question is...I can eat whatever I want. I can gulp water. I feel just like I did before my fill. Am I right to want them to put in another .5 cc's? I am so confused. I see other people post that they aren't restricted until several fills. Am I just expecting too much?

You just might need a little more of a fill. Since you can eat and gulp, a little more fill would probably help you. Good Luck. Remember to sip and and take small bites slowly.

I went today and they did give me .5cc's. I swallowed the Water just fine. I really do think the problem was I forgot to sip but this will do for now.

Thanks for the reassurance!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
