My five year old son says I burp like a pirate now...I think he's proud of me! And ya know, there's just not really any way to stop 'em, I've tried!

OMG, I have my first fill tomorrow! Crap---it's the size of an ice pick? Did you feel how deep, really? Holy crap I'm starting to freak LOL

How do you feel now?

Don't worry about the fill, most people don't hardly feel it. It's a little pinch then you feel a little pressure and the fill itself which is odd but not painful. I don't like needles or pain and I've hardly ever felt anything and never had them numb it. :thumbup:

I too was terrified of my first fill and after the Dr cleaned the area and came at me with the needle I put my hand over "the" spot and and said

"wait... Wait... I'm not ready!"

and he looked at me all frustrated and said,

"why did you do that? Now I have to steralize it again.. It doesn't hurt, I've already done 25 fills today and had no complaints!"

then he made me put my hands behind my head... LOL... He doesn't numb the site, and I'm glad of that... One needle is plenty just "get er done!"... Turns out there was more pain in my mind then in reality... I am actually looking forward to going back for my second fill on the 26th...

I haven't experienced any burping yet... But my Grandsons will be pleased if I ever do! Boys love that kind of stuff. Haha...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
