Had My First Fill Today



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks post op yesterday and had my first fill today, feel weird. The doctor put 4cc's in and then I drank some Water to see how I would tolerate that and I did fine so I guess I'm ok but still feel tightening in my throat, is that normal? Thought sure I'd get only 2cc's today being it was my first but he put 4 in. Scared to eat now, of course I'm on soft foods now but scared to eat when I can, eek!

yea I know, I thought 4cc's was a bit much for the 1st time but I just went with it. I go back in 2 weeks to weigh in and to check in with him to see how this is doing for me.

no I didn't have any saline in my band at surgery time, today was my first time, I was so nervous but it was nothing to it.

I hope so, maybe this will kick start a few more pounds down for me in the next couple of weeks till I go back in to see him again for a check up. Of course I don't want to lose it too fast. Have been making healthy food choices since surgery and he was happy to hear that today.

      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.
