1st fill cancelled because of snow storm, bummed



Recommended Posts

This is my first time writting although I have been reading your questions and responses for awhile. I was banded 12-21-09. Lost 28 lbs the first 5 weeks. Have stayed the same the last 3. I was to have my first fill today and it was postponed due to the weather. I am totally bummed and just want to eat a huge peice of chocolate cake. I also have noticed that at 8 weeks alot of you are on your 2nd fill. I know everyone is different but like everyone else I have gone through this whole experience to lose weight, not stay the same. Sorry, I'm just having a "poor me" day. I have learned alot, Thanks, Leslie:mad:

Sorry to hear your first fill was canceled. Take heart, I am almost 4 months post op and only getting my second fill at the end of this month :-(

Hang in there. I know how tough it is waiting to get the help you need for your tool to work.

I would be CRAZY with frustration if that happened to me! Please skip the huge piece of chocolate cake cuz it will only further frustrate you after you have eaten it.

I know it is no consolation but, rarely do you get restriction on your first fill so ... getting your fill tomorrow won't make that big of a difference.

Hang in there, visit this forum a lot ... people here are WONDERFUL!!

My appointment last Friday was postponed...and I'm sure will be cancelled again (this Friday). Only...I need an unfill of a small amount. Can't eat much of anything and having reflux at night!

I'm here in Maryland and we are having one heck of a winter storm/blizzard...even pulled the plows off the roads earlier today.

That said--my dr. made me wait more than 6 weeks to heal and then only did once a month after that. It'll take time, but you'll get there. Good luck!

You are so allowed a poor me day for that!!!! I hope they get you in soon and you're that lucky one that gets great restriction on the first fill. You are doing great by the way, even without a fill.

      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.
