Post Fill Question



Recommended Posts

So Friday I have an appointment for my first fill. I have some friends in town and they are going to a Water park that day as well. Do you think I'll be fine to enjoy the park right after getting my first fill?

Sure, I don't see why not. You will just likely be on liquids for the first day or so after.

Just be sure to take a big gulp of Water before you leave the doc's office, not just a little sip. If you're too tight the Water will gurgle back up your throat and you can immediately get a little taken out.

Good luck with your fill and enjoy the water park :)

I agree i cant see why u couldnt go and enjoy yourself, just be careful physically as u still are only a 5 weeks post op.. A fill shouldnt restrict u physically afterwards at all, if u are concerned discuss with your doctor :)

Of course you can enjoy the Water park. Having a fill is like having blood drawn, a minor inconvenience.

I had double-header softball games immediately after both of my fills. It was fine. Just be careful and make sure you can handle gulping Water. I chug mine, and it startled me at first to feel the water backing up. Haha.

Although don't do any waterpark food! You need to re-learn to eat after EVERY fill. If you can eat something now, there is no guarantee it will stay safe for you. It changes. My doctor has me on liquids the first day, then mushy the next. Solids after that.

You should be fine but follow doctors rules. Full liquids for whatever he/she advises. I took it easy on first fill, stomach a little queasy because they are messing with it. But overall felt fine.

      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.
