1st Fill...but I have a ?



Recommended Posts

I just got my first fill yesterday, and I have a couple of dumb questions. I know this sounds weird, but how do you know if you feel restricted? How do I know if i feel full (I know that sounds crazy!). I have been really careful about what I am eating and I was put on soft foods. I was told to only consume a 1/2 cup of food, but I feel as though I can eat more. I do feel a little bit of something in my esophagus, is that what its suppose to do?

Im just not sure if I need to listen more to my body and figure it out, or listen to my head. Just wanting some advice of what other people are feeling after their first fill. :huytsao

Hi, I read a lot of other peoples descriptions on different threads, and that provides a lot of information regarding how a good fill should feel. This is a very frequent question, and lots of info is available, just take some time to read peoples threads.

I didn't feel any different after my 1st fill. I just got my 2nd fill last thursday and I do feel some restriction. Restriction can feel many different ways. For me, I get a tightness in my chest. Once I feel this, I stop because I do not want to PB. I've been lucky so far (knock on wood). I just hope this restriction lasts a while lol.

      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.
