Sick!?!?! Or From Fill???



Recommended Posts

I got my first fill yesterday. (4cc's) Today was the first time I ate. I had a slim fast for Breakfast and was fine. Today at lunch I have a piece of chicken shredded tossed in lettuce tomatoes and some salsa on it. (I also had a few french fries... :(

About 5-10 minutes afterwards I started getting the jitters, a headache, and started feeling real tired and icky in my tummy. Same thing after dinner. Has anyone felt like this?

You cant expect to eat the same after a fill as to what you ate before it. Most after a fill go on mushies and liquids for a day or 2 to allow for any swelling to go down.

I am sure u can live without french fries too :)

I havent had my fill yet but boy have I had the headache and the jitters! either ate too fast, too big of a bite, or much. or ate the wrong thing. Its crazy >Mine are better when I follow all the right routine but its alot to remember. They say it gets easier but it sure doesnt feel like it.. hang in there

I'm with the others, I haven't received my first fill yet (not by choice, that's another story). My doc requires 2 days of liquids and 2 days of mushies after a fill. Check with your docs office or the paperwork they gave you.

I did that once when I was over filled,But I was able to even keep Water down! You got a big fill and it may just be to much, I did that when I first had my band and had all but 1cc removed..I am actually staring over after having a illness not due to the lab band at all . I have noticed after a week my band seemed tighter.

  1. I'm surprised to hear you got 4cc's on a first fill. My doc's office won't do more than .5cc's at a time....slow, slow, slow. You do need to do the liquid or mushies right after a fill.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
