LL67 0 Posted August 25, 2009 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abbypoo 0 Posted August 25, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rachnett 1 Posted August 25, 2009 my surgeon does the first fill at 4 weeks, yeah for me!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolfergyrl 0 Posted August 25, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formerfatchick 1 Posted August 26, 2009 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! 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Padanelle 2 Posted August 26, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
