First Fill After Baby



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Brief background: Banded 4/16/2009, 8/1/09 found out we were EXPECTING! (She was a surprise, not planned so close after surgery). 4/24/2010 baby is born. 6/10/2011 first fill after baby. Now, I am trying to get back into the swing of things. Due to the situation I only had 2 fills prior to finding out about the baby, so at this time, I believe I have a total of 4cc's in my band, with relatively good restriction. I find myself hungry every 2-3 hours though, and am wondering if this is too frequant? Since it has been so long, I forgot everything and need to brush up. I am wondering if anyone out there has some good documents that may help with guidelines and meal ideas, and the correct amount to eat at each meal, etc. I am going to do this the right way! Any help is a lot of help!

Thanks so much!

Also, if I can answer any of your questions you may have, I am open!

Thanks a lot and take care!

Steph

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
