First Fill yesterday - starving today



Recommended Posts

Wanted to know if anyone else experienced this. I got my first fill yesterday....and today I am starving. I had a yogurt for Breakfast and now having some coffee and that would usually last me for a while....now 2 hours later and my stomach will not stop grumbling.

I am always starving after my fills, but its my own fault, I've only had 2, but on both of them I haven't eaten anything before my fill, once because I got busy and didn't have time, and once because I was thinking about my weigh in and didn't want to blow it with my lunch, silly I know! So after my fills I am starving!

I usually have my fill in the mornings, but I always eat a biscuit and some type of meat before I go. One time I ate this and my stomach still was gworing while my dr. was doing my fill. lol:smile:

Hi, I had my first fill today and one of the reasons that I was so eager to get the fill was because I was starving the days before. It seemed like as soon as the surgery swelling went down, I started to feel hungry then starving. My surgeon told me that the first fill would not "cure" the hunger feeling because he doesn't want to over fill on the first one, and since you should only eat like 2 oz for a few days after fill try to go about every 3 hours and have high Protein 2oz of something to help. Don't know if that will help you at all, but that's what I was told today. Now he scheduled my 2nd fill for next month and he said THEN you'll really not be hungry or starving anymore. Take care. :thumbup:

I've had 2 fills so far and I was starving after both. But thats because I don't eat anything on the day I'm getting a fill, and then for 3 days after fills I'm on Clear Liquids so I am always starving during that period. I had a fill 3 days ago, and I just had a Protein Shake - my first non-clear liquid in 3 days and boy did it taste great lol! I'm on full liquids now, for 2 days but that will be fine since at least I can get in my Protein and won't feel like I'm so hungry all the time!

      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.
