Got my fill on...



Recommended Posts

Okay all I got my first fill yesterday. 4cc total. wow I was a little shocked I didn't think he would do so much. I've read other bands and have seen 2-3 cc's as the norm.

Anyway I had Soup for dinner and Cream of Wheat for Breakfast. I just had a cheese Quesadilla. I was only able to eat one and 1/2 peices of it. Last week I could have eaten the whole thing. WOW :rolleyes2: I am elated. I was wondering when I would feel the effects. Now I have. I know there could be some swelling, but I like the feeling. I hope it stays for a while.

I can't get another fill for a month. I'll let you know.

I love the level of restriction I have right now -- not so much that I have problems getting the food down (and I haven't found anything that I can't eat) but not so little that I'm hungry or eating too much. I'd be perfectly happy if it stayed this way since I'm also losing weight. Guess I'll just have to see how it goes. :)

I'm glad you're doing so well! :cool2:

Okay, so I have ben eating but foundout I can't eat leftovers. I had left over chicken and I guess it drys out a little but it got stuck and was the hardest thing to eat.

Since the fill I have to really watch what I eat for now.

After each fill my doc always tell me I should stay on liquid diet and then mushies for a week or so to allow my stomach to calm down (stomachs don't like to be messed with).

I've had 9 fills till now - my doc is very conservative with fills (he does 0,5cc each time...) which can be quite frustratiing...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
