First fill today - nervous!



Recommended Posts

I have my first fill today and am really nervous. I have lost 40lbs since surgery and am nervous to rock the boat! Should be interesting to see what the doc has to say!

My story is similar and I'm nervous too. But it will all be fine. That's why we went through all this, right? Congrats on your weight loss though. You've done so good! :)

Thanks all - in talking with my surgeon and nutritionist, we opted against the first fill for now. Going back in 3 wks to check in on hunger levels/need for a fill.

Good, now stop worrying, it causes stress which is known to cause eating! LOL

That was me yesterday, but it was okay. It didn't hurt. Although I have been very careful with eating and drinking. We will see if it makes things any better. Will probably take several before I notice it. I hope all goes well next time you see the doc and don't worry. My doc made it very easy and pain free.

      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.
