ready for my first fill

[sandiburn 23]

I am 10 days out and I am ready for my first fill. I stay hungry. I have limited myself to smaller portions and I am watching what I eat, but I wake up in the middle of the night hungry and I get hungry faster after I eat. I have lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. I can swallow fine and have had no issues with getting stuck. I have a follow up apt with my Dr on Wed, will he do an early fill????

I wouldn't think so but every surgeon is different. Mine waits six weeks.

I have to wait for 6weeks to get my first fill, I even called and asked if I could get it on 5 weeks and they said no. So keep your chin upi you can do this! Try to think about something else or have a Protein Drink. I mixed banana baby food, and 1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter to a shake , it makes you a lot fuller and has a different taste which is nice for a change!

Best wishes!

OMG...I just asked pretty much the same question..exact same situation as you...maybe I should read on and find the answer.

I'm 12 days post-op. I'm still on gull liquids for 9 more days. My doctor says no fills until I'm on solids because then he can determine how hungry I really am. Thankfully I get full on about a cup of Soup... but I don't stay full for too long. Maybe it will get better when you start eating solids.

Sorry you're so hungry! I know what you mean though... My hunger wakes me up in the middle of the night too. It's intense.

I felt the same way as you did at that point in time, but since I have been on solids, I realized that I do not need the fill. I have been eating solids for 3 weeks now. I went to the doctor for my first fill appt and no fill because I was losing and was not hungry. I have my second fill appt next week and think I wont be getting it because I am still losing and not hungry. My point is...once you can eat solid foods, the hunger pains may go away for you. They did for me, but we are all different!
