Hey there everyone. I was hoping to get a few opinions here to help me out.

I am going on vacation in two weeks, I currently have 4cc's in a 10cc band and do not have much restriction yet. I have been will powering my way through over eating and doing my best to make good food choices. I have a fill appointment two days before I leave for vacation and at the last two visits my doctor has put in 2cc each time. My question is, if it were you, would you try adding 2cc more or 1cc more even if you were able to get down your Water easily at 2cc? I am afraid that I will get stuck or need an unfill while I am away.

If it were you what would you do? TYIA

I would discuss your concerns with your doctor. I agree, being overfilled while your out of town would not be good to say the least. Again, talk to your doc. and the 2 of you can come up with a plan.

Personally, I'd wait to get a fill until you get back. I'm at 6cc after having been too full for months and know that I'm now able to eat anything I want. However, I've decided to stay at 6cc because we're going on vacation in 2 months and the last thing I want to do is have to look for a bathroom...several times...during meals. Which is what the last few months have been like.

      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.
