slowly talking myself out of getting a fill



Recommended Posts

The excitment of getting my fill is now gone and replaced with FEAR! :lol: I just think of it and my stomach turns and gets in knots. :) I dont know if I can do this. It's been years! My family is pushing me but I have lost my big girl panties and can seem to get them on. I need the fill so I can start the long jorney to loosing all my weight..again. I am so scared! I hope I dont talk myself out of it. :)

Oh, I see. My husband is the same way. I am sorry, I feel for you. I know the fills are not fun by any means I'm not even scared of needles. When I have mine I close my eyes and there is usually a nice nurse that holds my hand or rubs my forehead that seems to help.

So yes it is unplesant, but it is worth it in the end for me it is anyway.

I have been debating on needing another fill or not. My last one was Oct 8th, but I have about decided that I do need one.

Good luck to you,

lucy

Mine are done laying done - so you should have that covered! I usually get a numbing shot, which stings but does not hurt, before they start the fill. I look up and don't look at what they are doing, I can usually feel that they are doing something - but I really can't feel anything.

You will be fine! If you need the fill, just suck it up, go in and get it done. A few minutes and you will be done! That was me givin you some tough love! LOL!!!

I just had my second fill and it didn't hurt at all. The people that give fills usually are fast. Close your eyes and exhale, it will be over before you know it. I hated the thought of getting needle in my stomach, but I didn't mind it at all. You'll do fine! After your fill you will probably be writing about how easy it really was.: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?

        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.
