First Fill... Wasn't Bad At All



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill yesterday. I was banded on 6/5 and yesterday my doctor added 5cc's to my 11cc band. I'm excited to start feeling some more restriction. Surely the 5cc's will help?

My next fill isn't until September, until then I plan to start working out! Ready to get the scale moving lower and lower.

The fill itself didn't hurt, some discomfort but I will say that my doctor is awesome, pricked me once, did what he needed to do and I was outta there.

I'm getting my first fill today. My doc does it under X-ray, but I don't think it's much different.

Ugh! Hit send by accident... Anyhow glad everything was good for you. How long are you on liquids? Mine is 24-48 hours as tolerated then mushies, etc... I think I'm more anxious about the liquid diet than the needle.

My doc actually just had me lay down and sit up like I was doing a crunch and then he felt for it. Liquids for two days for me, I was kinda sad about that when he first told me but I had some Soup yesterday and it wasn't too bad. Today I'm going to have some Greek yogurt.

i had mine last week, my doc said 24-48 hours but I ended up having to do 5 days for my body. I got really bad stomact pains the one night I tried to eat. Good luck my weight loss started back up after the fill forsure.

      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.
