Now I know what it feels like to need a fill!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Not sure what happened this weekend but my what a difference. I had my 1 month post op last Friday and everything was perfectly fine. She told me that even though my first fill isn't until January 8th,if I feel the need to have the fill done sooner to call. Well not sure why or how this happened but by Saturday I noticed a big difference in my appetite and Sudnay ,I noticed I was looking for more food and I had hardly ANY restriction . I guess this is a major sign ,eh ?

I felt discouraged (again) when I stepped on the scale this morning and it went up a pound and a half and i'm SURE it's because of this weekend. UGH!

I am right there with you. I do not get my first fill until January 7th and i really do not have any restriction. Basically I am forcing myself to do it , that is the only way for me.

It is hard with the holidays approaching and all the emphasis being on food but we all need to stick together and do it together.

Don't get discouraged, keep your head up.

Good luck sweetie!

Yep, I am there too. This weekend I was hungry. I mean really hungry, so I had to keep myself distracted. My 4 week post op is 12/10/08, so I am to graduate to real food. The doctor will give me a fill before Christmas, but I would prefer to have it on 12/10/08.

I go throught the same thing with the sclae, I get obsessive. If I weigh my self , I will continue to do so and a jump of anything drives me nuts. Just remember your still healing and it is still very early. January is right around the corner.:wink_smile:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
