3rd fill and feeling great



Recommended Posts

Well I went for my 3rd fill today so far so good. I got weighed and I now weigh 229lbs(day of surgery I was 286lbs)so I have lost a total of 57lbs. I can't believe when I lose 30lbs more I will be in onderland. This weekend I went to the beach as I do every year but this year was different. Before I used to go to the beach and plant myself in my chair all day without moving(not even to pee LOL!!). Well this time I took a walk, went swimming and actually ate on the beach without blinking an eye. It felt so good. Before when I was 286lbs I was sooooo unhappy and everyone knew it. I recieved so many compliments not only about how much weight I have lost but they were saying how healthy and happy I looked and you know what? I really am. I am very happy. For anyone who may be reading this and thinking about getting the band or even if you feel like you want to give up on your band please do it. Do it to feel better, to be happy but most of all to love yourself again.

Sounds really good for you! Congratulations! I will possibly get my 3rd fill June 16th. Not sure I need more fill. I'm @ 7cc now (11cc Realize Band) and think I may be okay where I'm at. I've lost 55 pounds total since surgery Feb 7th, 2011. I like you will be under 200 soon! My ability to be active and socialize has changed so much! Like you said, it makes doing things so much easier. @ 7cc I can no longer eat any breads, unless chicken is tiny pieces with sauce I can't eat it, and sometimes drinking a Protein Shake is just a lot easier. So, this may be where I stay filled for awhile. I have 2 little kids and eating very slowly isn't always an option. I'm just glad to feel powerful over food for the first time in my life. Its amazing! No more white knuckling diets! My hunger is taken care of with enough Protein and if I do spurge a bit its with ricecakes. I eat 2 or 3 and that's my splurge now! I love my band and am so happy I have it!

      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.
