Did you have any restriction in the solid food pre-fill phase?



Recommended Posts

I'm at my solid food phase, but my first fill is in another week.

When you were in this position, did you feel full faster and stay full longer?

When I eat, I get full really quickly and stay full a long time (I'm eating 3 very small meals a day), so I don't think I really require a fill yet (I'm loosing a pound a day).

What was your experiance?

No, you don't need a fill. That is a tremendous loss. You have good restriction. Any more and you would be too tight. You don't want that! Eventually you might want more food and stop losing. Then look into getting a fill.

I was like you, I had restriction for about 12 weeks after my op, and I had my first fill then. And in hindsight I cant say I *really* needed it THEN either, I was still losing.

I had good ristriction for about 6 weeks then it became spotty. Some days I'll have better restriction then other days. Didn't get a fill at my first appt, and will be getting a fill next appt. Thank goodness! That's great that anyone can still retain good retriction after 6 months. I think maybe its really a mental thing? We chose to eat better so it works better? This is my theory. But I am ready for a fill now

      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.
