First Fill



Recommended Posts

My first fill is scheduled for 9/5!! I am excited!! The nurse did warn me that most people gain weight the last 2 weeks before the first fill. That means my fill will be done 4 weeks and 2 days after my surgery!!

Congrats!! That really exciting news. Some people have to wait six weeks.

My doctor just told me he will do my first fill four weeks post op but I cannot schedule it until after I see him one week post surgery.

My first will be on 8/29 and I am so looking forward to it. After being off liquids my appetite has come back with full force:drool: and I am trying hard to make good choices and to watch my portions.

Ro is right (you've got a fantastic memory, matey!) my first fill is the 5th of Sept. I am still eating less than I used to to get full - about 1 cup of food per meal. But I'm not losing any weight (or if I am, it's very slow now) so until my first fill, my main goal is not to gain any weight. :blush:

Hey all! I'm back from TX, gosh it's hot:) I have hit the weight loss wall too. I have lost two lbs since the week after surgery, but my clothes are fitting much differently. My doc makes us wait 6 weeks. I am just trying to pre-measure the food so I don't cheat. THe trip was tough...the food was preplanned, but I never knew what it was until they put it on the table. Day one was chicken and steak tips with corn on the cob...uggh! I did not take a plate and 4 waiters tried to put one down. I sipped on Water and then mixed a shake after. I also bumped into a dear friend who is having this done too, so we got a chance to chat! Thankfully I brought a ton of shake powder with me. I'm looking forward to reading through the new posts and getting caught up with everyone. Moe

I'm actually able to eat everything right now - steak, rice, anything. So far nothing's gotten stuck, so I'm assuming I'm going to need a fill or else everything is going through.

Last night I had chicken nuggets because I worked late and it was all the canteen had left, and they didn't even make me feel full, they were so processed. So until my fill, I need to be extra careful about what I eat.

I thought about trying to cut the meat/chicken up into small bits and try it, but was afraid to being so far away from my surgeon. I'm on regular foods next week:) WHOO HOO! I still do quite a few shakes though, they are super easy at work.

      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.
