First fill...very awkward



Recommended Posts

So I just had mt first fill and it was very different. Since the fill, I have had zero urge to eat and have to force myself to drink a Protein Shake. I don't think I'm too tight either. is anyone else having this problem? Right now I have 4cc in a 20cc band. 3cc at time if surgery and a 1cc fill.

You may be a bit swollen following the fill, but try to get your Protein down. It is important for your nutrition. Keep sipping and trying!

The first 5-7 days following a fill is common to feel this restriction.

Im also 4cc's in a 10cc band for 17 days now and im able to get more food down & im also hungry more often.

So enjoy this while u can and keep us posted!

You have a 20cc band? Wow, that's pretty big for a band. I only thought they went upto 15cc what do I know however in Mexico they were originally using a 4cc band.

      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.
