How many fills do you have to have?



Recommended Posts

I don't know how many is too many. I guess you just keep going untill it feels right to you. Nobody knows your body like you do.

The amount of fills and fill amount is dependent on the person and his/her unique anatomy. I have 6.5 cc's as of fill #3 and that seems to be just right for me.

I had my first fill yesterday(11/25). My doctor put 5ccs in. I gurgled when I drank the Water, that was weird. I have restriction now but still not enough. It was hard to eat anything today. I had a 2 deviled eggs(party at work) for lunch and that was it. Then had a Protein Drink and cottage cheese a little later that I had packed for my lunch. Now tonight, I had baked ziti(overcooked noodles) and it went down very easily:(, I ate a little over a cup. I am still hungry so I am going to see if I can eat a salad. Good luck all. Happy Thanksgiving!

I just got my first fill a week ago. I have in 1 cc. I can still eat what I want and I can eat more than a half cup if I choose to. I do notice that I stay full longer. So I am not eating enough. My MD is upset with me because I have been loosing 5 to 6 lbs within a week or so. He says most people loose a pound a week. So I am not sure if he will give me another fill anytime soon. But I don't have restriction in the sense that I can only eat very little amounts, but like I said I stay full longer. Some days if I eat twice a day, I am doing good.

      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.
