1st fill in a few hours - need advice now



Recommended Posts

Oh baby, if your fill doc is any good you won't feel anything. Flu shots are much worse compaired to a fill.

Eat breakfast. Don't stress.

I cried and cried before my first fill. I cried so hard I had tear filled ears! Then it was over faster than you can say "bob's you uncle".

I was mortified that I was such a baby about getting my first fill!

I was told empty stomach. I had my first fill yesterday.

He poked me with a little needed and numbed me up. Then I felt nothing at the fill.

Good luck!

I didnt get numbed or anything.. nothing.. and It was pain less.. what hurt a little was pulling out the needle. and thats not even bad.. felt like a tiny bug bite and was gone in seconds. I was able to eat before and after.. but its up to your Dr. Anyway I know you will be fine!!!

Ok, got it done and it was no big deal. He said I should have gotten filled at 4 week and I'd be down to 200 by Xmas. I got 1.6 cc's - it was no big deal. I go back in 2 weeks for another fill. I feel tight - he said do liquids for 2 days. I won't be scared next fill - it was really no big deal!

      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.
