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

      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.
