How Much Did You Get On Second Fill?



Recommended Posts

I had 2.2 cc when NP measured before putting in first fill of 2cc. Total 4.2 cc. NP said "most likely" she will put in half a cc for 2nd fill. Just curious what other ppl received on their 2nd fill...

Thats like asking how long is a peice of string :)

Some doctors only put in 0.5 cc per visit others can put in much more, some people didnt have a fill when they had surgery and had to wait till their first fill, some like u did, it really is so different for eveyone here its hard to even come up with an average number. I must admit that some NP do say these things and dont realise how literal their clients will take it. The fills should be based on what u need and most doctors will err on the side of caution. just take it that u will eventually get your fills and get the restriction u need so no point in worrying about it now .. Good luck :)

      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.
