First fill today



Recommended Posts

So I had my first fill today. There was 3cc in my band at the time of the op and today he took it out and put 5cc in and asked me to drink some Water. I started burping and he said it was too tight so he took 1cc out leaving me with 4cc in the band. He also said I could eat mushy good straight away and I have had no probs at all. Does feel a little tighter. Lets see how I go :-)

Hey, I had my first fill today as well!! How are you finding it so far? I have not eat yet, but i did have a few drinks, so i feel really full. You get the burps I get hiccups when i am full. How much have you lost so far? We got banded in the same month :-)

Hi, I also got my first fill today! 0.5 cc. It pinched a little but would not say it was painful. I'm now on liquids for 24 hours. I was banded April 10 and have lost 26 pounds.

      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.
