Just had my third fill today



Recommended Posts

I was wondering why some who have the surgery have problems eating when eating too much and I haven't had any. Granted I'm glad I haven't but just wondering. I think when I reach my fullness is when I get kind of like and ache between my shoulder blades...that's the only clue I have at the moment to when I probably have eaten enough. I haven't had that in a long time but that is what I felt after surgery when I ate too much I think? And I had a mild feeling today. I'm mostly just on soft foods and everything is going down great. Is that because I haven't reached my restriction yet? Any input is greatly appreciated:smile2:

I was just wondering?? Something I said:biggrin: I had no sence of resriction this morning drinking my coffee either. :unsure: I don't know just was expecting something this morning and so far nothing. Could it be I just have not enough restriction yet??

Any input?? Thanks

I did not get any restriction until my 4th fill and even then i could still eat more than the required amount. I just had my 6th fill and i am really restricted, I think too much so, so I am having a little unfill today. Everyone is different. It takes some of us a little longer to reach restriction. Then again, I would rather have too little restriction than too much because I haven't kept anything down in three days.

Thank you so much for your reply....I was getting to wonder if anything was going into the band or something. same thing today I don't feel restricted at all. At least I know sometimes it takes longer...guess I'm just getting anxious. I did read be too retricted is far worse so glad I'm not there..but I do hope you get to feeling better soon...this sure is an experience isn't it....and everyone is so different.

thanks again, rpm2010

      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.
