YEAH!!! FINALLY my first fill



Recommended Posts

My surgery was on Dec. 27th. I just had my first fill this morning. I've stayed at the same weight for the past 4 weeks..... and SO glad I finally got the fill. I've been nervously looking forward to today for the past 3 weeks. I got 2 1/2 CC's . My dr. has me on Clear Liquids for two weeks. I hope I won't be feeling any hunger.... Being on clear liquids for so long sorta scares me.... If nothing else, it will definitely jump start me into losing again. I was very nervous that it was going to hurt.... I'm soooooooooo glad it didn't!!! laugh.gif Much easier than I expected. Yeah!!! back into losing again!!!! (I was really getting frustrated!)

I dont get the whole two week Clear Liquids unless you have issues eating most doctors only have you on clear liquids for three days at the most. I would double check with him again to make sure he said two weeks of clear liquids or did he mean upgrade over two weeks meaning 3 days of clear liquids, a few days of full liquids, a few days of pureed and then move up to a regular diet. I on the other hand have a very sensitive stomach when getting fills and cannot eat for three weeks or so but that is usually not the case with most.

I also don't understand the clear liquids for 2 weeks. Even pre-op clear liquids was just a week, and when I get a fill it's full liquids for the day only.

But hey, clear liquids will make you lose a ton of weight real fast! Just don't be confused and think the fill had anything to do with it as it will be due to eating nothing but Jello and broth! Good Luck! Not sure I could do the clears for that long !

      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.
