I did not notice right away, my doctor said most people don't see a huge change with the first fill. He was right. I was on liquids the day of my fill then back to my normal diet the day after. But it depends on what your doctor tells you. This is only my first fill and I go back in 3 weeks for another, I have to say I am anxious for my 2nd one. I think that will do the trick. Good luck!!

It went great, I didn't even feel it! Good luck to everyone who has a fill coming up!!!

I am so excited, tomorrow morning I will get my first fill! I have been so hungry lately. My doctor reassured me that the reason I'm starving is because I'm healing well. That was a relief! I feel like tomorrow this actually starts and I am so excited. I just wanted to share! Hope everyone is doing great!!

That makes me feel so much better, thank you for your reply. It is hard but I am going to work at it because I want this more than anything! Again, both of you, thank you!

I am now 7 days post-op and I am supposed to be on pureed foods, I am having a hard time with this. I have been cheating and eating mashed potatoes with extra skim milk so it is falling off the spoon, I have been making tuna fish but mushing it the most I can and eating that. I also have been eating scrambled eggs. All of these foods are going down fine, I am having no issues at all and they are keeping me full. I am just so scared of something going wrong. I just need to hear it's going to be ok!

Thank you all for your responses. It means a lot. As I'm sure you all know this is a rough time, not knowing what to expect and what is and isn't normal. So again, thank all of you.

Ok. Thanks for the reply!

Yes I am on pain medication, although it doesn't seem to do much for me.

This pain is much worse than I expected. My stomach keeps contracting and giving me these sharp pains. The only thing I can imagine it being is gas. I just hope it's normal and will go away shortly. I have been trying to walk as much as possible but I'm still having the l pain. I'm also nauseous every now and then. Did anyone else experience this?
