Green Zone 1St Fill



Recommended Posts

I feel so blessed I'm three weeks post fill and down 10 lbs. My doc gave me 4CC which I thought was a lot for the first fill. I feel like he was right on. I have gotten stuck a few time. And boy the slime was more then I bargained for. But you live and learn. CHEW ON LADIES!

I had my first fill 2 hours ago. It was also 4cc. I was hungry when I went in but have not been since the fill. I am to drink shakes for a couple days. and then soft food for another few. I haven't even got back to "regular food" I thought he would do my fill at 6 weeks. but it's only been 4 weeks since my surgery. I am a little scared because up until now I haven't had any problems at all. hmmmm wondering what this will bring. (right before Thanksgiving).

Think of Thanksgiving dinner no differently then any other dinner. Pick and chose wisely and you will be fine! It is about being with family, not eating. Changing your mindset on things really helps.

I am not really worried about eating too much because I have not felt like I need more then I am eating yet. Just worried about having something get stuck or something with all the family around. Because I don't know what the fill will change for me.

The first fill is the only fill I have ever had because I still do not get hungry. I eat my cup of food and chew the best I can. I was worried like you and that has helped me to chew well because I do not ever want to have a stuck episode.

      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.
