Drinking water immediately after a fill



Recommended Posts

I read somewhere that doctors have you drink a certain amount of Water before leaving the office. Does anyone know bout this?
As of right now, I haven't been able to drink anything more that 600mL in 2 days. Im going to the doctor today and would like to know how to gauge the un-fill.

My doctor has me drink a cup of Water before leaving the office to make sure there are no difficulties swallowing. Some people have their fills done under fluoroscopy so the doctor can see exactly what is going on. I love that idea but don't have that option where I live. The link below in my signature helped me understand that the band is all about dimming the appetite, not about restriction. I am always able to drink -- I glug down bottles of water and drink a lot of iced tea. Sometimes first thing in the morning an iced cold drink can be a little funny. Be sure to tell your doctor everything so you get your band nuanced just the way you want it. For me, the signal for satiety comes along with chewing and swallowing. When I'm really mindful of that then I get that signal and know my band is working perfectly even when I'm not always perfect. Good luck and let us know how you're doing!

      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! 😞
