Got My 2nd Fill Yesterday_???



Recommended Posts

I went to a Fill Center yesterday and received my 2nd fill. My first one was in TJ, and I have been without sweet restriction for awhile but have maintained and not gained! Anyway, they recommend 24-48hrs of roomtemperature to warm full liquids....then normal food. I have no problem following these rules but they also endorse a 72 hour un-fill policy at no cost if I am over filled? But you have to call in the 72 hours....how will I know if I need an unfill if I'm on liquids? ? Right now I'm worried I may be a weeee tight!

I've been drinking broth, Tomato Soup, strained Soups, basically. I'm soooo not hungry, No major pain, but I can tell I've had an adjustment....I burp air, I don't have reflux but after a tsp. of Peanut Butter I could taste it in the back of my throat_ but not burning ?????? At the center they said, "can you feel the Water in your pouch and then feel it pass?" I couldn't, but now with Soup I CAN...what will solid food do???

So, should I just be VERY careful until this fill is my sweet spot? After I drop a few pounds I may be perfectly filled, ya know? I'm going to GENTLY SLOWLY try some fish tonight ( always done me right) and see how it goes. Maybe I have just forgotten what diligence restriction requires since its been so long and I'm over-reacting? Just curious what you all think!??

What if you buy yourself some time? Call the center that did the fill within the 72 hour period to schedule the free unfill. Then if you feel that you don't need an unfill cancel the appointment. Will that work do you think, or do you have to physically be there within 72 hours? :thumbup:

      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.
