First Fill



Recommended Posts

I got my first fill today. I knew I needed one because it seemed like I was hungry all the time and the one cup meals were not satisfying me. Needless to say I gained a little bit of weight back because I was eating more. Thank the Lord I only gained a pound though. The fill processs was much less complicated than I thought it was going to be. My doctor added 2.5cc to my band so I am now at 3.5cc. I

Congrats on your first fill, MissBee! The first fill will really jumpstart your weight loss again. It did for me. I plateaued the week before my fill and then lost 7 lbs in 10 days after the fill.

A lot of people can find that they put on a few lbs before the fills really kick in . just be patient and keep up the good work :)

That's awesome! I had my first fill a week ago, also to 3.5cc. Like you, I knew I needed. That one cup just wasn't getting it done. lol. I've lost at least 5 lbs in this first week after my fill. Blessings to you!

Thanks for your words of encouragement ladies! They were very much needed. The good news is that since I got my fill I have noticed a change in my food intake AND I've already lost two more pounds!!!biggrin.png

      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.
