How Did You Feel After Your First Fill?



Recommended Posts

So I had a hard time yesterday...but I am soo much better now. I can drink but if I drink too big a sip it hurts and sits a bit..i was able to eat some yogurt and pureed Soup. Im feeling my fill should be ok now..I forgot once and took a big sip and it was painful..! Im still worried my band isnt right after the vomiting episode..I need peace of mind!

I didn't really feel too much after my first fill. I felt the "full" feeling for a few days but then it went away. Sure...I was eating less, but I didn't have near the full feelings I have now as I am close to the 7cc mark. Don't worry...you'll find your zone...it'll come.

I drank the Water the surgeon gave me after my first fill and it didn't stay down. Was very glad to have spoken up and told him straight away, he took some Fluid out. I did notice when I went back to solids 2 days later, I was more satisfied with a smaller portion and I had to eat even slower than I previously did post surgery. I've had two more fills and found I'd rather have a number of fills slowly than huge amounts at once after the first bad experience I had. I also walk out of the surgeons looking to feel comfortable and not expecting to feel much until I return to solids 2 days post fill.

I've started to notice a little more pain or discomfort eating some foods post fills, but found it was probably more a case of me eating each bite a little faster than I should, or not chewing it down to a paste consistency. Chewing, waiting between bites and the size of the food concepts I think are reinforced as rules to live by with the fills.

      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.
