First Fill Two Days Ago



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill Thursday. They had me on liquids till noon on Friday. I have really been tryin to eat but I cannot eat more then about four bites of food.. Is this okay since I just got a fill? Will i be able to eat more in a few days? My doctor told me to eat at least a cup at a time and there is no way I can do that. I feel pretty full on bite 5 and have no desire for food for at least four hours. Also I got "stuck" for the first time today. It was horrible. I thought I was going to calapse and yes it made me sick! :/

Buy papaya enzyme chewables (found at Walmart, GNC, CVS, etc) if you ever have another stick episode, chew two of those. My nurse suggested them & they work wonderfully!

About your fill, maybe your band is too tight, some people like to eat 3-4 bites and be full. I've also read on some posts on here that you'll have restriction for about a week then it will disappear & you'll want another fill. How many cc's do you have in your band?

I had the same problem. My restriction lasted almost 2 months. And I lost almost 10 lbs just in a month and a week. I stuck it out even tho I was slimming almost every meal : / not the greatest thing to do : /

Some people here will think of you as lucky getting that amount of restriction after a fill, it depends on you as to whether u think u are too tight or not, not only does our body have to adjust to fills but our minds do too, i could easily think to carry on as before a fill only to get stuck or feel full so quick after a fill. as long as u can drink liquids and get some food down, then maybe change what food u are eating instead of going back to fast for an unfill.

My doctor says 24 hours full liquid then 24 hours mushies. If you are having solid that could be your problem. I would recommend eating mushys today Saturday and trying solid on Sunday.

I have 1 1/2 cc. My doctor wants me back in three weeks to see if I need another one. Mu doctor told me to do Thursday ( when I got mu fill) liquids. And Friday liquids till noon and then I could have soft food after that. That all went fine even on Friday I ate without a problem even though it wasn't a cup of food. Maybe I'm scared to since that first stuck episode? I have been very good with the foods I eat. I haven't even tried eating any bread or pastas! Since I've heard they get stuck. Honestly that limits food so much! Everything is bread, Pasta, or fried food! I eat a lot of turkey, chicken, cottage cheese, cheese, some nuts, v8 for mu vegetables if I can't get those in. There's more but that's the stuff I usually eat! I need more options it seems like! What does everyone else like to eat? Or do you just eat small amounts of whatever?

U need to get to like eating green veg, it fills u up, increases your metabolism , is cheap and quick to cook and u can chop real small. greek yoghurt 0% fat and fish salmon or smoked salmon is good for Protein, u can eat salads etc, if u do treat yourself to a few bites of Pasta make sure its the whole grain pasta .. just eat nothing that is white or processed u will be fine ..

      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.
