Fill Or No Fill



Recommended Posts

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I NEED A FILL. I LOST WEIGHT RIGHT AFTER MY FILL WHICH WAS 12/3, BUT DON'T SEEM TO BE LOSING ANYMORE. FOR THE FIRST TIME I CAN'T EAT Breakfast (SOLIDS) IN THE MORNING AND I CAN'T EAT MUCH meats BUT EVERYTHING ELSE GO DOWN FINE. I DON'T HAVE TO SIP MY Water , IT GOES DOWN GOOD. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. DO I NEED A FILL? OR NOT? IF I DO I NEED TO SCHEDULE MY APPT NOW, I MIGHT GET SOMETHING IN JANUARY. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?:help:

If it were me I'd say no fill. When I'm tight (like right now) I can't eat most meats, ground turkey is the exception. But a lot can change in a few weeks, especially in the beginning (i assume you're in the beginning since your ticker is at 11 pounds down). I'd call your dr and ask if you can schedule an appointment and possibly cancel it with 2-3 days notice, just incase you don't end up needing a fill. I know my drs office permits this as long as I call about 4 days before the appointment.

There are 2 types of restriction. Restriction to liquids and restriction to solids. Restriction to liquids demands an unfill. If you have restriction to solids I would recommend trying softer food first. If you start to lose again on a softer diet you need to make up your mind if you want to stay there. Sorry I can't be of much more help.

I am in the same spot right now, I can eat ground beef and turkey but no other meats-i have good restriction- my dr has me come in once a month regardless so if I do not need a fill I won't get one- I would say make an appt for a couple of weeks from now and then if by then you feel you are not restricted go in, if not reschedule for the following month.

      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.
