When is your 1st fill?



Recommended Posts

I went to my first post op doctor's appoinment today. He scheduled my first fill for November 26. They were going to schedule it just before Thanksgiving, but decided it wouldn't be good with the holiday just around the corner. They were thinking that if there was any problem with the fill, it would be too hectic a time. I was thinking I needed the fill (fix) to keep me "good" through the holiday. Oh well. He also yanked off the last two sterile strips. I decided he could, but I wasn't. If he caused it to open, he could repair. On the 26th he said I would also meet with a dietician.

I go November 6th for my first fill. I wish I could go now. I'm hungry all the time. I notice that I can't eat as much as I used to in 1 sitting, but my hunger is definitely coming back.

I've been introducing solids into my diet, but for the most part I'm still on mushies. I've had chicken breast - hurt going down, and I've had sausage - the thin kind cooked crispy, it went down just fine. I had baby carrots and celery last night dipped in ranch dip, went down just fine.

I was banded October 15th and my first fill is November 21 -- the day before Thanksgiving. Yikes! I can't say I'm really hungry. In fact, I've pretty much just been drinking my Protein Shakes -- and LOTS of Water. My dr. requires a 2-week liquid diet after surgery, so next week I'll try mushies.

Yeah, I had a chicken breast and it was not pretty. I can eat most other solids but the no no's (dry meat and pasta) I have to be very careful with even without fill. And I still sometimes eat too fast and that hurts.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
