Yippee Got 1St Fill Today!

[JennyBee 340]

Well my 1st fill was today and it was 2.5cc's. I'm pretty satisfied with that I suppose. The doc had me drink 2 cups of Water before I left and all was good. Do u guys think 2.5 was pretty good, considering some docs only do .5 at a time?

He told me liquids tonight and back to regular foods tomorrow.... Wonder if I'll feel any different?????

Did you have your fill done in the office or was it under fluoroscopy? Did you feel anything?

[JennyBee 340]

It was in his office and literally took 30sec.... No it wasn't flouro.

My port is very obvious so I'm trusting my Doc!!!

I'm glad things went well for you. I get my first fill this weekend and I'm kind of scared based on some of the posts I've read.

That's interesting that your doc has you on one day of liquids.

Did it hurt at all?

[JennyBee 340]

Victory... No it did not hurt one bit! He did it so fast and w/o even numbing it, before I knew it BAM! It was over!

Yes I was also surprised only 1 day of liquid. He literally said "regular diet tomorrow" I even had him repeat himself! Lol

Ok ladies I need help! I'm 7day post-op and no one told me that i was going to have theses crazy hunder pains. i've thinking banded,so i should not feel hunder pains, wrong! I feels like i'm eating my ygurt,jello,soups and liquids, but hungry faster. I have to admit today i mess up and sucked on a hard pretzel until it became mushy. I feel awful about swallowing it, but I've been full for about 2hrs now, but felt something moving in me like a lil baby. please help and give advice, i will not do that again

Hey JennyBee,

I'm doing a Protein Shake or 2 eggs with a little cheese for Breakfast. For lunch, I have this high Protein spice Hunter Soup that I've been eating. For dinner, either refried Beans, tuna pâté or this quinoa and chicken concoction I just made this weekend. The chicken goes done kinda hard, though.

I was banded on February 13th and had my first fill today. Total of 3cc. I eat almost identical meals to you! lol

I mix it up once in a while and have cottage cheese. I also do the greek yogurt, hummus and tuna a lot. Don't eat pudding but i do eat Jello.

Banditup,

Can I just say that I love that you sucked on a hard pretzel until it became mushy? That's ingenuity. I was Starving the first week. I'm still hungry (but I think Im PMSing). They say it goes away with fills. I so hope so. I can eat 4 servings of anything. I don't, bc I'm scared to, but I feel like I could.

[Victoryg 7]

I tried to do the pudding. I just can't. I haven't had it in 30 years and I know why. I hate it. I'm trying to pawn it off on somebody. Lol. I make this tuna pâté recipe for my mushies, which is basically tuna and cottage cheese and some other stuff blended. I love it. It's the only way I'll eat cottage cheese.

When I'm starving I drink Water, I mean lots of water. Makes me slush around but I'm not hungry anymore. If I'm hungry half an hour after that then I eat something
