Getting a bit more aggressive here



Recommended Posts

Well I'm only a week past my last fill but I only had restriction for a few hours. Despite that I've managed to keep motivated and stop eating even when I wasn't full and have managed to lose another 4 pounds. However, I was worried that by the time I got to next week, I would've gained it all back as it became more difficult to 'step away from the plate'.

So I called to see if they could slide me in for another fill and I went in this morning for another .5cc. I'm now at 8.5cc and am hoping 'this is the one'. The one that is permanent and not just due to swelling. Even if it is only permanent, at least I'm sitting solidly at 229 and know I won't be yo-yoing upward again because I have restriction again.

Oh, I did ask how they were able to squeeze me in so quickly and the receptionist said this is pretty typical this time of year. Apparently, people start thinking of all the goodies they're going to miss out on at their Super Bowl parties and they cancel their fills. :)

      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.
