Just before I had my 1st fill today, the doctor asked how much solid food it took before I was full. I said 1cu but it's actually more like 2. Stupid me I thought I'd be in trouble if I said more than what I was supposed to be doing. He put 7cc in and when I drank Water it went down okay but I felt full up to my throat. So he took some out then when water went down very easily, he put some back in ended up filling with 4cc total. It doesn't feel like I'll feel full with the 4cc - of course won't know for a few days when back to solid food. Should I have told him it took a lot more than 1cu to feel full before he did the fill and that my weight loss has been due to willpower and less than 1000 calories? I know everyone is different and that some doctors like to go slowly to get to the sweet spot but should I try to get in before my 6 weeks appointment for 2nd fill since I wan't truthful and especially if I don't have restriction from this 1st fill? I'm way worried that I'll get up to that 2cu eating again! Thanks! 3 week pre-op diet lost 12lbs 6 week post-op have lost 23 lbs more...

Hi, I'm new here. Since I'm intolerant to gluten and lactose I am a severe label reader and content researcher. I found online that some Protein drinks/mixes/supplements have monosodium glutamate ( MSG) which can cause headaches for some people. Here's a list of some not-so-evident forms of MSG's I've found online: Anything "hydrolyzed", Any "hydrolyzed protein", Calcium caseinate, Sodium caseinate, Autolyzed yeast, Gelatin, Textured protein, Soy protein, soy protein concentrate, Soy protein isolate, whey protein, whey protein concentrate, Whey protein isolate. I get headaches from MSGs however, I don't hedaches from all of the above (soy protein products, gelatin are okay). So look on your labels and see what you have. Hope this helps! My surgery is August 8th and I've just started my pre-op diet.
