First Fill Today Yippee!



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill today! DRs put in 4 cc's at first but when I tried to drink the Water it just kept bubbling up in my throat so he removed 1cc and all is well! On full liquids for 24 hrs, mushies for another 24 hours then pretty much anything I want as long as it's a smart choice! I am so excited!

It's the moment I have been waiting for since I decided to have lap band surgery!!

Thanks! I felt pretty good before the fill. I wasn't hungry most of the time and the few times I was I was able to control it. I can see how it would get harder and harder not to eat when you're hungry so I am glad I got the fill. I was at the soft solid food stage and able to eat anything without a problem. I was lucky I didn't have problems with anything I ate.

Good luck with yours!!

I wasn't given any instructions on eating the day of a fill but I had my lunch at 12:30pm and then nothing after that, my fill was at 4:30pm. After I am on liquids for 24 hrs and mushies for 24 hrs.

      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.
