My First Fill Was Today And My Stomach Is A Little Confused



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Well I got my first fill today I have an 11cc band and today they put only 2ml ( 2cc) in it of whatever it is they put in there. I'm like totally fine they told me that I should go back in two weeks to get another fill unless i'm ok with it by then. Sure is my first fill and it was in the morning, but I don't fill necessarily hungry but i'm not really full either i'm like just there if that makes sense. Anyway is this normal? how did your first fill go?

Well, remember you are swollen, so you might stick to liquids, today, at least. It has been 2 1/2 years, so can't say how it was, but I had to stick to Clear Liquids for 2 and full liquids for 2 days. Best of luck, Karen

I had to stick to liquids for at least the first 24 hours after every fill. Then to mushies and the rest as I could handle... be careful... it takes a bit of getting used to

I had my first fill today as well,and also got 2cc. I can totally feel the difference! I am on liquids for 2 days. It took me 20 mins to drink an 8oz protien shake! So it definitely gave me some restriction.

The point is not full or hungry, but satisfied. Most of us are usually so used to the hungry or full. Not many are used to satisfied. I think that you are now at "satisfied" feeling. It is different, I guess its what skinny people feel when they stop eating. It takes awhile to learn that. If you don't. however, you will continue to eat until you are nto comfortable, and maybe PB. Try to stop at satisfied! Best wishes, Karen

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
