2nd fill and...Nothing?



Recommended Posts

Got my 2nd fill on tuesday and I can still eat alot! I have about .4 the frirst fill and 1/3 this time making a total 1.7 put in my band now and the doctor said I should be full pretty quick and its not happening. My wife says I should go back next week for another fill but its still sore from the last time. I am following the rules,eating right and exercising.

Anyone else had this happen?

should I worry?

it took me about 4-5 fillls, 2.5 cc's total, before I really felt the restriction. And sometimes, you don't really feel your fill till a week or two later.

I agree. I have 2.25 right now and not near enough restriction. Today is the first day since surgery that I've eat too much and I eat 4 little halloween candy bars. Yes you seen it right 4. I could kick my big fat ass, and somebody ought too. Pay 10,000.00 for surgery and have paid for 2 fills so far, I'm freaking retarded. I hate myself right now and I ought too. I have an appointment for Tuesday next week. What is some of you guys ideal of how much I should get put in. He usually asks me how much I want.

mysherrijo, How many candy bars would you have eaten before surgery? Probably more than 4 (after all if they are Halloween bars they are small right:confused: ).Don't be so hard on yourself! You've lost 36 lbs in 2 months??:clap2: That's beyond awesome!! Would you have done that on your own? I say keep up the good work and enjoy a couple of candy bars now and then. Don't completely deprive yourself.:)

As for fills, BE CAREFUL, I thought I was too loose so I added .5 and have been miserable for a week.:faint: Went back today and got .2 removed. My doc said I was lucky I didn't slip my band or dilate my pouch.:)

Hey Laura,

Yes they were the small ones but I knew better. It's the first time I've done that and it's not even T.O.M. How does your 3.2 fill feel? I have 2.25 and am going Tuesday for another fill and I'm sure he'll probably go to 3.0. I was just curious do you have good restriction now.

I knew when I bought those stupid candy bars I would do this, but your right, tomorrow is another day and I'll just have to do better tomorrow.

Hope you having a great week.

my fills took a week to kick in, give it time. ..if no restriction after 2 weeks give your Dr. a call. Many doctors will not give another fill until you have waited 2 weeks between fills.

      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.
