to fill or not fill - that's my ?



Recommended Posts

I am pondering getting another fill. In some ways I want one b/c I can eat 1 - 1 1/2 cups food at a time. But in other ways I don't want one b/c I can't eat chicken (gets stuck) so I'm always eating ground beef, veggies, Pasta and salad. I am not doing the Protein 1st thing and I am eating alot of crap (candy, crackers, etc). I think a fill might help me eat less, but then again, does it really matter if I'm eating less if I'm eating crap b/c I can;t get chicken down?

MY Dr. said that if you don't lose anything for 4 weeks straight to come see about a fill. Surely your Dr. will tell you to quit with the junk too.

Are you losing still?

I really dont eat too much junk -its just I feel that junk is all I've had this last week b/c of Xmas. I have only lost 2-3 lbs since 2 weeks after my surgery. So that's only 2-3 lbs in the past 2 months. I am going to get another small fill, I have resolved to start inputting my food on fitday.com, and I just signed up for Water aerobics and hubby and I are going to go play tennis tonight. I think I need a mental adjustment as well as a band adjustment!

That's the same thing my doctor told me. I have lost probably 2-3 lbs in the past month. I decided to wait until after the holidays to get a fill. Mine is on Jan. 3rd.

I can't eat chiken anymore either. I've tried all kinds with all kinds of "goo" and still it gets stuck every time, so I've crossed it off of my list of foods not to eat.

Good luck to you! = )

P.S. I was losing slow for a while but have picked up just recently. I haven't changed my ticker but I am now down to the 2's = ) 294.0.

      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.
