What's Your Opinion...fill Or Not?



Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure I need a fill. I am hungry in between meals, eating larger portions, and my weight loss is slower. Here's my dilemma though:

I'm getting married a month from Wednesday. I'm picking up my dress one week beforehand and there will be no time for more alterations (as far as I know). I'm also leaving for California and Hawaii for two weeks a few days afterwards. Everything logical in my brain says wait until after the wedding, but I am so afraid I'm going to gain weight and my dress will be too tight. Should I just suck it up and white knuckle it for a month, or get a small fill to help take the edge off? I'm going to my surgeon's office Thursday to see what they think, but I was just wondering what everyone's opinion is. Thanks!

If I was in your shoes, I would pass on the fill until after the wedding and honeymoon. I was in the same place, weight loss had slowed and I wanted another fill. I got a very small fill and am really having some trouble eating now, lots of foods I just cannot eat at all with this fill. Enjoy your wedding and honeymoon and get a fill when you come back.

If you're still losing weight, what's the rush. If you're gaining, maybe a little .25 fill?

If you are losing slower but still losing then surely it shouldn't be a problem,unless you had the dress made too small and it doesn't fit you yet? I would be holding off until after the wedding and the honeymoon so that you can relax an enjoy them without fear of problems.

      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.
