Whillow-- are you satisfied on 4 to 6 ounces of food and does it sustain you for 3 to 4 hours? Are you having stuck episodes or PBing? Do you feel like you need it?

Sorry for all the questions, just want to get more info before I give my .02 I was shocked today. My doc told me I had perfect restriction---really? News to me LOL

I am pretty good with 4-6 oz of food.. occasionally dinner is a little more than that ---

I have the once in a while stuck episode - from not chewing enough or too fast or the wrong type of food.. Pasta doesnt seem to work for me at all anymore -

I have pbing a couple days a week.

and I have lost 4 lbs in the last 2 weeks..

I Guess im afraid if i cancell this appointment ill need a damn fill the next day lol,,, also afraid if i get it i will be too tight like i was with this one,, took a good 2 weeks for me to be able to eat comfortably......

I had the same issue. I had an appointment coming up and didn't think I needed a fill. I called far enough in advance to get an appointment about a week after. Appointment is tomorrow and I feel like I need at least a slight fill. I like the idea of a just incase appt. It takes about 2 weeks notice to get in to see my doc.

      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.
