You'll be just fine! The fill itself is super easy, and usually it takes a few fills before you get any real restriction. As long as you follow the rules (like chew chew chew :) ), you'll do great!

No words of wisdom here, I have to wait another 3 weeks. Just wanted to wish you luck, I'm sure you will do just fine!

I had my first fill this week and I was full of anxiety. Super nervous...but I didn't feel a thing! it was so quick and painless. I had liquids for 24 hours and then my doctor told me that I could have mushy/solid foods and I haven't had any problems. I just eat slow and chew really well. Think positive! It's definitely better once you have it behind you because you know exactly what to expect. But I was filled with anxiety and it was super quick and I didn't feel a thing. I haven't had any problems eating/drinking. I do feel tighter!

      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.
