Two fills in Two days?



Recommended Posts

I just posted a part of this on another thread for a different subject, but I'm curious what you guys think:

I got a fill yesterday and it wasn't crap. .6 cc... NO DIFFERENCE.

The first fill I had was wonderful and I actually had my sweet spot right away. They put a full cc in there that time. Even though it wore off in a week, it was great. So, I was expecting something like that this time and no. I knew right away it wasn't even close.

I came to work and drank my Soup.. ate it all no problem (last time I could only drink half). Then I was still starving after the soup.. intense starving pains...

Today I ate an entire can of tuna for Breakfast, no problem... for lunch had a large chili.. no problem.. still hungry.. before there is no way I could have eaten all of this after a fill.. It actually seems as if she took some of the fill out! and never put any back in.

So, I have a 3pm appointment today and I'm going to beg my doctor to just give me a little bit more. I doubt he will, but if I have to cry I will. God, sometimes I feel like I'm a crack whore addicted to drugs or something! and my drug is this band.

I wouldn't be so upset if I didn't have to wait over 4 weeks for my next fill, but apparently somebody quit the fill center so they have a long wait right now :-( I'm going on a cruise in two weeks and I don't want to go hungry, as the food is so good and I know I'll want it!!

Do you think I have a chance in hell that he will give me a little topper??

I don't know....My first 2 fills were over a full CC each - but we could go back every 2wks for additional fills. I've read a bunch that fills can take up to 2wks to "kick" in. That has never been my experience. They either restricted me or not ... So the happy lapband journey of 5 months of getting fills took 7 before I got true restriction.

It's a PITA & willpower / diet had to occupy me in the meantime. Cry a river...see if it works:tongue:

      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.
