To fill or not to fill?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Oct. 13th. I was scheduled for a fill on Dec. 4th, but was unable to get my labs done in time so I postponed it until after Christmas. My question is do I need a fill? I can eat just about what ever I want. I do get a uncomfortable full feeling if I try to eat to much and or eat to fast. I have lost about 22lbs since surgery, that includes the ten I lost right after on the all liquid diet. My debate is should I get a fill and eat less and loose faster or continue the way I am an loose at a slower rate. The only problem I have now is that I am afraid that if I don't get a fill I will gradually eat more and more until I am back were I started.

Hey Emilie! How ARE you? I think Dr. C fills pretty slowly...at least he does for me. So I vote go for it!

Congrats on your loss, by the way!

If you can eat whatever you want - go for the fil.

Yes, get the fill before the Christmas holiday. Better now while the doctors are available.

Good luck!:wink2:

      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?

      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.
