Getting first fill tomorrow - Questions



Recommended Posts

As stated I am getting my first fill tomorrow and I have some questions.

First when I had the surgery for almost 2 weeks it was amazing in that I was full all the time. I lost like 18 lbs and my appetite came back with a vengence and I gained almost all of it back.

Is this normal and what can I expect from the fill and does it hurt a ton.

I had first fill on friday. Does not hurt at all - at least mine didn't. This weekend I have been on liquids/mushies and feel kind of burpy and like I have a lump in my throat. Nothing dramatic. I will eat solids tomorrow but I am sure hoping that I can't eat too much! Good luck.

<p>It shouldn't hurt especially if they numb the area first. I have had 2 fills and haven't seen much restriction. Everyone is different of course, so you may have great results. For some people, they don't start losing consistently until after the first few fills and they get good restriction. For others (like me), I have lost pretty consisently without restriction--however, I am exercising 6 days a week for at least an hour sometimes 2 hours. I have cut out all of the junk food and I am only eating lean meats, fruits, veggies, and whole grains. </p> <p> </p> <p>I hope you have good results and don't sweat the fill it doesn't hurt.</p></p></p>

      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.
