I always schedule fills early in the morning. My doctor always reminds me to stay on liquids for 24 hours after the fill. Then soft foods for next 24 hours. I haven't felt my 2 fills so far. It's no big deal and you're released quickly. My doctor usually has me drink some Water to make sure I can.

Don't think about the fills as painful, because it won't be and you might not even know it's done.

i dont own a scale for that very reason. I would be weighing myself every day. Instead I go somewhere else once a week. Dont worry about the fill. The worst part for me is the liquid for 24 hours after. I hate being on liquids I like to eat my calories. Congrats for making it to your first fill!!

I had my first fill yesterday. The anxiety was definitely worse than the reality.....not too bad at all. A little disconcerting to look down and see the needle, but not really painful at all.

Good luck!

Don't look at the needle! Think happy thoughts. Liquids only for 24 hours. Don't force it. But... don 't expect weight to fall off like it did in the post surgery liquid diet. Remember 1-2 pounds a week is a lot. Faster weight loss messes with your metabolism. Slow and steady. Weigh only once a week at MOST. You will drive yourself crazy with Water weight fluctuations! Be strong and congrats on your first fill!

I haven't been on the scale since I started mushy- and now I can eat anything.. fill was to be today- its been delayed till tomorrow because something came up with my Dr ...I'm not even sure I'm still at a 20lb loss.. I would really like to feel my pants getting big big.. I know many hit 50lb losses around 3 to 5 months??

      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.
