First Fill Today!



Recommended Posts

Just had my first fill and was told to be on a liquid diet for the next 72hrs. Is this what you all where told also? I was not expecting this but if it is what I have to do I guess I'll do it. I'm so sick of liquids :girl_hug:

My doc says liquids for the rest of the day (of the fill), then mushies the next day, then real food 2nd day out.

One of the things I find most surprising is how much variation there is with the advice given by various doctors. Some (like mine and, maybe like yours) seem overly cautious almost to a fault while others sometimes seem (to me) almost not cautious at all.

I'm starting to think my Dr is very cautious, which I guess isn't a bad thing.

Personally, I'd rather my doc be too cautious than too permissive.

My doc told me to eat softer foods for a day. I had heard about the liquid thing too and asked him specifically "you mean I don't have to do liquids?" He said nope we don't do that anymore. I have been fine...:tongue2:

quick question; generally speaking, how much fill would they put in an empty 10cc band on the first fill. just curious. i go for my first fill next week and have heard anything from 1-3 cc. id rather them be a bit more aggressive rather than nickel and dime me to death for 4 or 5 fills at 1 cc at A TIME.

      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'. ???

        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!
