Time for 2nd fill...errr maybe not?



Recommended Posts

Had a fill May 12th (2.4cc) seemed to provide some restriction. Was loving it, except when i didn't eat on schedule and ate too fast or didn't chew well enough because i felt like i was starving.

For about the last 5-8 days been eating an increasing amount. Yesterday for dinner i know it was too much. (about 1.5-2 cups of mostly meat). I was shocked at how much i could eat, i even stopped several times to try to feel the fullness.

so this morning i contact the dr. for a fill appt, which we set up for the 14th. but then at lunch, i was barely able to eat about 4 bites of food. i even pb'ed. :confused2: should i cancel my fill appt? was this just a fluke? its not my TOM, so i know i wasn't tight for that reason. just thought it odd, that yesterday i feel like i ate like a pig and today could barely eat

restriction is so fickle sometimes...

i am more tight in the mornings/afternoons then pretty open by about 2. i am just under my perfect restriction right now and will be going in for another fill after my trip.

i say play out the next 1 1/2 weeks, see what happens. keep the appointment and if you continue to have PB issues, re-evaluate how you are eating (chewing enough, slowly, etc...) if that is good, then cancel the fill or tell them when you go and see what they suggest.

good luck

This is quite common. I would see how it goes for you in the next couple days. You can always cancel your appointment. Good luck.

      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.
