How long until first fill?

[LL67 0]

Just wanted to see how long you all are waiting until you can get your first fill, has your dr. let you know yet? I have an appointment for 4 weeks out (I am 2 weeks right now). Seems quick to me, but maybe not. He said we will determine when I am there if I need a fill (depending on weight loss, hunger, etc). I am kind of feeling hungry the last couple of days. I am on regular food now, and it does make it a little more difficult than when on liquids, because the choices were so limited then. I'm at work right now and just walked into the kitchen, where there was a huge chocolate sheet cake with whip cream sitting there cut up waiting to be eaten for someones birthday! That was the first time my brain was really tempting me....I passed it up however. Like the crack head passing a table full of free crack!:thumbup:

My doc. says no fills until six weeks. I had my surgery on the 12th and will be getting my first fill on the 21st.

If I could have a fill today I would take it. I have been starving since the 3rd day after the surgery. (two weeks tomm.)

I went back to work this past Monday, so I am hoping that the distraction will help but my stomach growling from hunger thru each of my sessions is not exactly pleasant.

I am drinking all my Water and Protein. My doc office actually gave me a gastric bypass diet that says only clear broths and 2 Protein Shakes a day for 6 weeks then I can add tofu and cottage cheese for the next 6 weeks. What a laugh.

I have been having some full liquids but only the soups.. cause I want to stretch out the menu for a bit.

I go to my Doc on Thursday and will be counting the days until my first fill until then.

Hopefully, I will have some fingernails left.

Mine is four weeks out. I'd like it sooner as I'm already hungry...

LMAO !! ahh that was great !! I felt the same way the other day when I went to go get some food for the hubby at Hill COuntry BBQ and they offered me a sample of the brisket !!

My first fill is on Sept 4th, just shy of my 4 weeks, I'll get to enjoy ( terrified of the solid food right now) solids for 3 days before having to go back to liquids after the fill

My first fill isn't until 7 weeks post-op!

I'm scheduled for 9/18 for my first fill. 6 weeks out.

I'll be eating "regular" food for 2 weeks, and then get a fill :thumbdown:

My first fill will be Oct. 8 -- which is 8 weeks post op for me. After that, I can have a fill every 4 weeks if needed.

I can't wait either, after 2 weeks post op of having no appetite, it has suddenly returned and I don't like it!

My first fill was 4 weeks after. Afterwards, every 3-4 weeks, if I can get an appointment (they're very busy). I had my 3rd fill scheduled for today, but the NP decided not to add any thing more, so now I have to wait another month.
