First Fill



Recommended Posts

i had my first fill today and when i went to eat dinner it felt like it did without the Fluid and no restriction.....does it take time foe you to get restriction or does it come as soon as fluid is in

First of all, did your dr say you could eat regular food after getting a fill? I know most drs say to wait 24 hrs on full liquids before trying food. Some are even longer. And it took me until my 3rd fill (4 mths into it) until I felt any difference at all. For the future tho, sometimes you can feel the restriciton right away, sometimes it takes up to 10 days to feel any difference. No clue why.

You have to be patient. Unless your one of maybe 1,000 bandsters, you're not gunna feel any difference for a few fills. Good luck!

Had my first fill today in London -- doc put in 2cc and said for me to go straight to eating normaly -- said for me to just eat right and chew well, I have noticed a small amount of restriction - but had a blended Soup to be on safe side.

Lost over 32lbs now :)

Hey Steve, I was wondering how things were going. You don't post very often.

Congratulations on the wl!

Thanks maddysgram, I know I don't post often - been so busy, I am a man of little words but will try and interact more on here.

By the way - I have only had two slime sticks and no p b"s is this normal?

a couple of things - sometimes it can take a couple of weeks to feel the effect of a fill, plus it usually takes several fills before you start to feel them and reap the benefits. This means you must just continue to be patient at this stage. Good Luck.

Steve paul smith - congratulations on having no PBs (not sure what slime sticks are?) Basically means that you are chewing well enough, taking small enough bites and eating slowly enough. Keep up the good work and you should have no problems.

Hi sage Tracey, I described my episodes as slime sticks because it is how it feels - its probably when I got food stuck through not chewing or eating to fast buty body reacts by over salivating - but thicker than normal - it is not nice as there is pain - but I found by sipping cuppa tea or walking around helped ease

      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?

      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.
