My First Fill



Recommended Posts

Finally, I get to have my first fill tomorrow. My doctor called me yesterday checking to see how I was doing. I told him I was hungry alot of the time and he said that shouldn't be so he scheduled me to come in a week early. Now I am alittle nervous about the actual procedure. He explained it all to me but I am still chicken.:paranoid

Don't be nervous, it really isn't bad at all. I was terrified when I went in for my first one, and it was so easy that I walked out of there wondering what I got myself all worked up over. Plus, the great thing about getting that first fill is the weight loss really begins from that point. You will do great, let us know how everything went after you get back.

Oh, by the way, try doing a search on fill videos. I know there are a couple people on the board who have posted videos of their fills, and you will see how it is done so you know exactly what to expect.

Thanks I am looking now for the videos. I watched the video of the actual surgery before I had mine and to be honest it didn't scare me made me think alittle of the pain I might be in afterwards but I worried for nothing it wasn't as bad as I thought so maybe the fill video will give me more info too.

They really aren't that bad, so don't be nervous. Hopefully this will help with your hunger. You will be fine.

      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.
