First Fill



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill July 30th. I felt no differnet than a did the day before. I am starving and my stomach growels non stop and to make it worse I have not lost anything in almost three weeks. My fill was .25, is that a small amount? Ugh... does it get better?

My doctor told me to come back in 4 weeks but because of their schedule I was told I would have to wait 7 weeks to see him. I tried to explain to the lady that I was told to come back in 4 weeks and I was still starving but she told me I could come in at my scheduled time or wait another 2 weeks until their next appointment. So now i have a doctor closer to home and no more 3 1/2 hour drives for me...

Wish me luck with the new Dr.

I didn't feel anything until my third fill and didn't reach the green zone until my fourth fill. It's different for everybody.

Wishing you the best with the new dr! I had my first fill last week.. and I am on regular food and feeling no restriction, I am going to wait a few more days and then call my doc. I cannot go too long without a fill, I dont want to gain too much back!

      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.
