1st fill today!



Recommended Posts

To be honest, I was terrified how my fill was going to go. I have to say it wasn't bad at all... actually it was the weirdest feeling. My Dr. numbed me and then had to poke around a little, then put in 1cc and we were all done. I am doing really well getting my liquids down and even had some fruit for lunch, I can't eat as much at each sitting though, so that is good! AND I'm down 25 lbs since my surgery! WOOHOO!!! :whoo:

Has anyone else felt restricted after their first fill? Or even before 1st fill? I have... just wondering if this is the norm?

yes, I had pretty good restriction after my 1st fill...and my second....but both went away within a week or two. This third fill of mine seems to be holding well, but it was pretty darn tight for a couple of weeks! :D

I always get some restriction after a fill, but usually it goes away in a week or two. After I had a 5/6 fills, it held for me for over a year.

      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.
