Has Anyone Had Their First Fill Around Week 3



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 weeks post op and am thinking of bring my first fill tomorrow. I had my post op 2 weeks ago and my dr said he would do my first fill at 3 weeks. I called today to confirm and the nurse said he usually does fills 6 weeks out. Just curious if anyone did a fill less than 3 weeks out. In still losing but noticed I can eat more and becoming hungrier sooner.

They scheduled at 3 weeks 5 days. Didn't get one though since I was losing a lot of weight and was barely eating. I'm scheduled next week at my 6 post op mark but I doubt they'll fill me as I'm still barely eating and still rapidly losing do it all depends on the Dr and also.the circumstances :)

Christna150, why do you feel you need the fill? I am slowly feeling as though I need one because I feel like my pouch is not as restrictive but just wondering why you said that.

      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.
