I had my first fill today. The dr. had me go eat something to find out how it was working. I went and ate and was able to eat way to much. I went back to him and we realized my stomach had spasmed, so he filled it with more, told me to go eat some yogurt I did, I was full after a couple of bites so I thought I was ok then get home and eat some refried Beans for lunch and once again I am able to eat more than I should. Has this happened to anyone else? It is a really long wait to get back in to see him and I really hope I didn't mess up leaving to early..:tongue:

I went for my first postop appt today. I asked about fills because I'm starving! The PA said I'll only get 1cc put in at the first visit, another cc can be put in 6 weeks later and another cc if I need it 6 weeks after that! I was surprised! She said that I probably won't feel the proper amount of restriction until I get betwee 2 and 3 ccs. Ugh.

Most people don't get good restriction with their first fill. I didn't feel any restriction until my third fill. Be patient, you'll get there.

I have not had a fill yet but find it interesting your Dr had you eat. Mine makes you have liquids before the fill and then liquids for 2 days after the fill then 2 days of mushies. It is strange how different Dr.s have different quidelines!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
