First Fill and so excited!



Recommended Posts

I started my pre-op diet on October 7th at 297 lbs, had surgery on Oct 19th and went for my first fill yesterday. When I stepped on those scales, I just wanted to dance and shout! I have lost 52 lbs since October 7th! I received 3.5 cc's (already had 1 cc) and I am on 2 days of full liquids. I feel absolutely great! I'm not even minding the 2 days of liquids. For all of you new bandsters, hang in there. You WILL feel better and stronger every day. I promise! Woo Hoo!:D

That's awesome! I'm hoping for those type of results 2 months down the road. Right now i'm about at 9 days banded and i'm experiencing hunger angry.gif. I won't get filled until 12/13.

Before you got your 1st fill did you experience much hunger?

I got very hungry about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks before my first fill. My dietician had already warned me that this would happen, so I knew it was coming. I kept drinking my Water and my G2 Gatorade. I was fine as long as I kept busy, but the idle time was very hard. I was determined to stick to the portion sizes she had instructed me to eat and it has been all worth it. I'm just so excited that I can hardly sit still!:D I'm feeling restriction (almost like post-op), but they told me I may not feel this way for long. I am already looking forward to stepping on those scales again;)

AWESOME! Keep it up! I get excited when I see people that are so motivated.

My first fill was 2 days ago. I was so excited and proud that I took off over 30 lbs before my first fill. I was HUNGRY but determined. Just kept telling myself it was not forever and help controling the hunger was on the way!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
