First fill today - food question



Recommended Posts

So I'm scheduled for my fill at 11:30 - what time should I have my last meal before they do the fill or doesn't it matter?

My Nut said that I can have a Protein Shake or light meal the morning of a fill but nothing but Water for 2 hours before a fill. Good luck!!

Awesome, thanks! Just got back....put 2.4cc in (had nothing before). I'm excited to see a change, hopefully feel more restriction. Surprised to see 2.8lbs loss though but I'll take it! I can also resume regular exercise which is awesome!!! Thanks for support ;)

I had no idea that we were not supposed to have food prior to a filler. My "nut" LOL told me no such thing or maybe they just assumed I knew...It was my first filler 2 wks ago at 3CC but I'm still hungry - very frustrated.

Same happened to me I had my 1st fill last Monday, they were supposed to email me but never did I tryed calling but no answer then finally Monday morning on way into London 2 hours before my fill they answered the phone I only rang to confirm the adress then just said by the way can I eat before and they said I could but it had to be 4 hours before my fill ???¹ well too late cos I had just eaten now I feel like I e wasted money? Ahhhh!! I'm eating the same as before I had a fill!

Every surgeon is different. Mine says to eat like normal for meals but nothing except liquids for two hours prior, and all liquids the remainder of the day. Return to mushies next day and regular food the day after that.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
