2nd Fill Kickin In :)



Recommended Posts

My second fill of .5 cc (total 1.5cc) is starting to kick in. Had food stuck 2x and my first PB last night on a stinkin but delicious piece of chocolate... yes, chocolate of all things.

The point of this post is to say that for those of you who are waiting for a fill...... hang in there, they really do make a big difference.

I went from 1 cc and being able to eat EVERYTHING and as much as I want (not having to chew either) to 1.5 cc and getting food stuck. TOM is on the way and that always makes me tighter and I know it might not last but I'm really happy that I am feeling restriction after 5 months of being banded.

Hang in there folks !!!

Very happy to read your thread on this subject! LOL! I've been banded since 1/18/06. Have had one fill of 1.5. Going in next week for number two fill and really hope it helps. I don't have much restriction at all. I've lost about 15lbs but feel like I'm still eating too much. My wonderful hubby says I'm expecting too much and that I am definitely eating less than pre-band. So we count the blessings. But your post gives me something to look forward to! Thank you and keep us posted!

:cry I never want to feel like that ever again!!!!!! My fill kicked in and it kicked my ass!!!!! I went to Cracker Barrell with my mom and husband yesterday and had the tortilla Soup which went down ok but then all of a sudden...:rolleyes: WOW!!!....I thought I was going to die. I went to the bathroom and paced for a bit and then I "went" to the bathroom and thought..." :omg: Oh no! This is my first major PB and I don't like it!!!And I couldn't get anything to come up!" So finally...My body decided that both ends was a good idea.....OH DEAR GOD!!! I WANTED TO CRY!!! So...I got that over with and have vowed to not do it again!!! Although I am sitting here in a little pain after my snack...I just need to get use to my fill :cry and figure everything out AGAIN! I guess it's mushies again! Not even scrambled eggs are working out!

Kathy maybe you just ate to fast. Sucks don't it. I got food stuck 2 times before I had the chocolate PB.... I"m such a doomkauf (sp?) LOL chocolate of all things.... how anal is that.

Sorry it happened to you while you were out. I tell my DH and my friend that if I ever look like a deer with headlights shining in my eyes, not to freak out, its only me in pain ROFLMFAO!!!

I have learned that if i get that pain / stuck feeling, I take some really deep breaths and some times it helps the food pass.

      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.
