My next appointment with my doctor isn't until 3/29. :blink:

I'm weighing in daily, realizing there are fluctuations.

I have to go get labwork done on the 16th.

How about you?

My first appt was 5 days post op.

My second one is 19 days post op.

I know my next one will be at 6 wks post op. It is supposed to be my first fill. HOWEVER, I am going on a cruise 4 days later so I suspect he will not do the fill until I get back from the cruise which will then be 8 wks post op.

I get seen once a month. I believe that will continue for six months (as long as everything is still going good), then I think it will be 3 months, then 6 months, then yearly. I only weigh myself once a week, I used to do it daily, but have found I do better just weighing in once a week.

I had surgery a week ago today. I had my first recheck today and my next visit isn't until April 4th. And even then I only go if I'm not losing weight. He seems really casual about rechecks unless there are issues. We'll see!

I had my post op appointment today and won't see my doctor again until 04/07, which is also when I may get my first fill (my doctor said he prefers about 6 weeks recovery for new bandsters). Now, if only I can be patient, and make it through bandster hell. Boo...

      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.
