Getting my first fill today!



Recommended Posts

:smile:Yes, I'm going for my first fill today, it was scheduled for Monday, but I can't take it, I'm starving so I called the doctors office and they told me to come on in! I excited and now nervous to the point that I'm sick!:bananalama:

Wish me luck, and hopefully I can have them snap a few photos of the doing today, and I will post them!

Good luck!

I am a few weeks behind you and am starving now ! My first fill isn't until a week from tomorrow.

Hope it is as easy as people say - hope to see a post from you letting us know how it went!

How exciting for you both! My first fill didn't give me an iota of restriction but it was still exciting for me because it felt like I was progressing. Most don't have any pain/issues with fills and either way, it is WORTH it! Good luck!

Just got back from my first fill! Yeay, it was so simple - he just had me push my belly up the ceiling and there it was, I did'nt feel a thing, I could taste it though, is that normal?

Congratulations on your first fill, Beth. I'm glad it was so easy for you. Mine have been too. I've had six, and I'll have to say, I've never tasted anything. It'll be interesting to see if anyone else has.

      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.
