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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
