My 1st fill tomorrow!!



Recommended Posts

I have been working SO hard towards my 1st fill. I have been eating so well, really watching everything that goes in my mouth, I have been running a consistently at least 3x a week with walking and family outings on the weekends. I have dropped 21 lbs since my sugary on 8/3 but I have platued and haven't see it move in 2 weeks. I am SO looking forward to my fill to help me get to where I am seeing a difference with the scale.

Anything I should be prepared for with my 1st fill? My PA told me I need to follow a liquid/mushy diet for 3 days after my 1st fill and then should be good to go.

Hey! Im so excited about my 1st fill too, mine is next tuesday the 7th. You are doing such a great job with the exercise!! Iv just been walking but I platued too last week and just picked up the exercise a little and I dropped another 2 lbs. Im down 25lbs since my surgery on July 30th and I am really hoping I can drop fast after my 1st fill. I had a defill a week after surgery so I sorda know what to expect as far as the needle goes. I was told by a friend not to eat anything before you fill and that I would be on liquids for at least 24 hours after. So my appt is at 3pm so Im going to eat Breakfast in the morning and just liquids until 3pm. My friend said that when she eats before a fill it feels very uncomfortable. not sure if that is how everyone is but the only advice I was given so far

I just got back. When well, it did feel weird I have to say, and she did not numb the area at all. Took a minute for her to find the middle of the port. She pulled out some air and then put in 2cc's. Water went down fine and was told to do full-liquid for 2 days, 1 day of mushys and then good to go.

      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.
