First Fill Today!



Recommended Posts

Just had my first fill and was told to be on a liquid diet for the next 72hrs. Is this what you all where told also? I was not expecting this but if it is what I have to do I guess I'll do it. I'm so sick of liquids :girl_hug:

My doc says liquids for the rest of the day (of the fill), then mushies the next day, then real food 2nd day out.

One of the things I find most surprising is how much variation there is with the advice given by various doctors. Some (like mine and, maybe like yours) seem overly cautious almost to a fault while others sometimes seem (to me) almost not cautious at all.

I'm starting to think my Dr is very cautious, which I guess isn't a bad thing.

Personally, I'd rather my doc be too cautious than too permissive.

My doc told me to eat softer foods for a day. I had heard about the liquid thing too and asked him specifically "you mean I don't have to do liquids?" He said nope we don't do that anymore. I have been fine...:tongue2:

quick question; generally speaking, how much fill would they put in an empty 10cc band on the first fill. just curious. i go for my first fill next week and have heard anything from 1-3 cc. id rather them be a bit more aggressive rather than nickel and dime me to death for 4 or 5 fills at 1 cc at A TIME.

      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.
