Yippee Got 1St Fill Today!



Recommended Posts

Well my 1st fill was today and it was 2.5cc's. I'm pretty satisfied with that I suppose. The doc had me drink 2 cups of Water before I left and all was good. Do u guys think 2.5 was pretty good, considering some docs only do .5 at a time?

He told me liquids tonight and back to regular foods tomorrow.... Wonder if I'll feel any different?????

Did you have your fill done in the office or was it under fluoroscopy? Did you feel anything?

It was in his office and literally took 30sec.... No it wasn't flouro.

My port is very obvious so I'm trusting my Doc!!!

I'm glad things went well for you. I get my first fill this weekend and I'm kind of scared based on some of the posts I've read.

That's interesting that your doc has you on one day of liquids.

Did it hurt at all?

Victory... No it did not hurt one bit! He did it so fast and w/o even numbing it, before I knew it BAM! It was over!

Yes I was also surprised only 1 day of liquid. He literally said "regular diet tomorrow" I even had him repeat himself! Lol

Ok ladies I need help! I'm 7day post-op and no one told me that i was going to have theses crazy hunder pains. i've thinking banded,so i should not feel hunder pains, wrong! I feels like i'm eating my ygurt,jello,soups and liquids, but hungry faster. I have to admit today i mess up and sucked on a hard pretzel until it became mushy. I feel awful about swallowing it, but I've been full for about 2hrs now, but felt something moving in me like a lil baby. please help and give advice, i will not do that again

Hey JennyBee,

I'm doing a Protein Shake or 2 eggs with a little cheese for Breakfast. For lunch, I have this high Protein spice Hunter Soup that I've been eating. For dinner, either refried Beans, tuna pâté or this quinoa and chicken concoction I just made this weekend. The chicken goes done kinda hard, though.

I was banded on February 13th and had my first fill today. Total of 3cc. I eat almost identical meals to you! lol

I mix it up once in a while and have cottage cheese. I also do the greek yogurt, hummus and tuna a lot. Don't eat pudding but i do eat Jello.

Banditup,

Can I just say that I love that you sucked on a hard pretzel until it became mushy? That's ingenuity. I was Starving the first week. I'm still hungry (but I think Im PMSing). They say it goes away with fills. I so hope so. I can eat 4 servings of anything. I don't, bc I'm scared to, but I feel like I could.

I tried to do the pudding. I just can't. I haven't had it in 30 years and I know why. I hate it. I'm trying to pawn it off on somebody. Lol. I make this tuna pâté recipe for my mushies, which is basically tuna and cottage cheese and some other stuff blended. I love it. It's the only way I'll eat cottage cheese.

When I'm starving I drink Water, I mean lots of water. Makes me slush around but I'm not hungry anymore. If I'm hungry half an hour after that then I eat something

      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.
