1st post and 1st fill



Recommended Posts

Hey,

This is my first post, i've been lurking around and reading the forums. I just got my 1st fill yesterday. I wasn't feeling any restriction before my fill, and so far, I'm not feeling any of this 4cc fill. Hopefully, its just delayed which i've heard can happen.

Well look forward to losing weight with you all.

I didn't feel any restriction after my first fill of 4 cc either - I think that is pretty normal. I do feel restriction now after my second fill of 2 cc.

The full effects of a fill can be delayed for a week or so but understand that many people do not get good results from the first fill. You feel a little more restriction with each fill but on average it takes around four fills to get to your sweet spot.

Personally I didn't get anythign from my first fill, a little better with second, felt great with third and fourth but lost weight rapidly which caused the band to get loose. Fill five was when I hit my sweet spot.

I also had 4cc for my first fill. I really felt no difference at all. My weight pretty much hit a plateau during that period. However, my fill last week to 4.6cc has made a huge difference and I've lost 2.5 pounds already. I definitely feel restriction, although I don't think I've hit my sweet spot yet. I know patience with this process is so difficult, but you will get more restriction with each fill.

      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.
