Lap Band Fill Question... Sorry Of Its Repetitive



Recommended Posts

I got my first fill on 11/19. 3cc's in a 10cc band. My surgeon told me that I might only feel restricted the first few days, which I did. Then came the holidays, I def ate less but had some sweets that I know I shouldnt have. Anyway I'm back on track and I feel like I feel the fill more now! It took me time to drink my Protein Shake this morning and I just made eggs for lunch n I realllly had to take my time! This is a welcome surprise but how is it possible that I feel more restricted now, over a week later?

I don't why it happens but it does so relax and enjoy. You are very lucky to feel restriction on your first fill. It may disappear as you lose weight but that is also normal.

Thanks for your response...I'm so glad to feel some restriction, just thought it was weird that it took more then a week after my fill to feel this.

Definitely normal. Every time I have a fill my PA always reminds me that it can take a week or even two to really notice a difference.

I have not had a fill yet as I was just banded 12/20 but I can eat just a little now and I am FULLL... If it stays this way, heck. I may not want a fill... No sickness no side effects at all and I am just eatting what I want to but I know when to stop.. The restriction that I guess that I will feel with the band is not being able to eat certain foods. I have no problem keeping down my food or drink.. just the full satified feeling.

The change in restriction usually comes quicker than 1 1/2 months but it can happen. Your profile does'nt give your age but restriction can change depending on your monthly cycle.

      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.
