1Stfill...how Much Did Your Dr Put In The 1St Fill



Recommended Posts

My surgeon added 2 cc at time of surgery, then after 8 weeks added another 2 which we took out 0.5 given I was having trouble keeping the Water he gave me to drink down.

My fill was today my nurse said she always starts off with 3cc. So I had 3cc. It seemed like a lot to me. But I look forward to the restriction

My first was 2.8cc two weeks ago and it feels as if I eat more now than I did before getting the fill. I go back next week on the 26th for a second and I really hope I get some restriction .

My first fill was 5! It worked for me and I lost 35 pounds. My second fill was 7 and I lost another 15. That was April 2012. I got 8 put in an then went down to 7.5 because I was having trouble eating anything. Yesterday I went back to 8cc and I hope it works for another 50! (And with exercise!!)

My first fill was Sept 5 and I got 6 cc. At this moment I feel like it is not enough cause I can eat larger portions and I don't feel satisfied. I go back in 4 weeks.

      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.
