After First Fill Question



Recommended Posts

I just had my first fill yesterday. I want to make sure that how I'm feeling is "normal". Right after the fill, they had me drink 4 ounces of Water. It took about 20 minutes to do that. I could literally feel it going down and it was making me burp. That night I had chicken broth and although I sipped it slowly, I felt okay. This morning I am drinking my carnation instant Breakfast and it's taking forever. I am feeling a "fullness" feeling in my chest. It's not painful, and I don't feel sick, it just feels awkward. I've only had about 3 or 4 sips so far so I don't know what's going on. Does this feeling pass? Is this normal? Thanks for your help!

Yes. Very normal. It may loosen up a little next few days.

I have a shake every morning for breakfast and I have to take it slow.

It's a good feeling knowing the band is there doing it's job.

Keep in mind that just because you are scheduled for a adjustment, does not mean you will get one.

You will be weighed, # lost dived by # weeks will determine how much you are averaging per week. They'll ask a few questions, maybe show you the Yellow-Green-Red chart and ask you where do you think you are, then either give you an adjustment or send you home saying you're doing fine. See you in another 4 weeks.

At least that is how it has happened to me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
