I am 10 days out and I am ready for my first fill. I stay hungry. I have limited myself to smaller portions and I am watching what I eat, but I wake up in the middle of the night hungry and I get hungry faster after I eat. I have lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. I can swallow fine and have had no issues with getting stuck. I have a follow up apt with my Dr on Wed, will he do an early fill????

I wouldn't think so but every surgeon is different. Mine waits six weeks.

I have to wait for 6weeks to get my first fill, I even called and asked if I could get it on 5 weeks and they said no. So keep your chin upi you can do this! Try to think about something else or have a protein drink. I mixed Banana baby food, and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to a shake , it makes you a lot fuller and has a different taste which is nice for a change!

Best wishes!

OMG...I just asked pretty much the same question..exact same situation as you...maybe I should read on and find the answer.

I'm 12 days post-op. I'm still on gull liquids for 9 more days. My doctor says no fills until I'm on solids because then he can determine how hungry I really am. Thankfully I get full on about a cup of Soup... but I don't stay full for too long. Maybe it will get better when you start eating solids.

Sorry you're so hungry! I know what you mean though... My hunger wakes me up in the middle of the night too. It's intense.

I felt the same way as you did at that point in time, but since I have been on solids, I realized that I do not need the fill. I have been eating solids for 3 weeks now. I went to the doctor for my first fill appt and no fill because I was losing and was not hungry. I have my second fill appt next week and think I wont be getting it because I am still losing and not hungry. My point is...once you can eat solid foods, the hunger pains may go away for you. They did for me, but we are all different!

Great info guys. TKS.
