Hi, had my first fill on the 17th nov. I did not feel any real diffference either. At first I did like when I left the office. But the next day could not tell. On Saturday the area where my 3 incisions on the left of my body were felt different. Kinda like a pulled muscle or area and just sore. It was different, do not know if that was because of the fill or what.

Anyone else have any advice on what to expect or if I am not doing something right?

Hi, I think you are ok. I felt no real restriction until after the second fill and now on my fourth I have really noticed a difference. Last fill I had to be careful as I ate to avoid getting anything stuck but I never felt over full.

Now however that has changed. I have a couple of mouthfuls and I can tell that I am getting there. I am also not hungry until around 2pm.

Stick with it. It has to go slow or you won't get used to it.

Great! I do not feel as bad. Right now I am battling with the goodies and foods that are around this time of year.

I hear ya about the goodies. I am thinking about baking up a batch of oatmeal Cookies or something more healthy. I can substitute the sugar with Stevia (sp) and add nuts and try to make them as good for me as I can. Plus not eat them all at once! Ho ho ho...it is Christmas and all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...buried in a nice warm cookie! LOL!

I have had 3 fills and am at 8 cc now and still I think I can eat too much. However today I think I ate too fast or something, got heartburn and it lasted awhile and I didn't want to continue to eat. Then tonight I was able to eat a whole bowl of chili. How do you know when you are filled the right amount? Becky

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
