1 month out and introduction!!



Recommended Posts

So I've been lurking here for a month, taking in lots of info and tips. Thought it's about time I start talking lol! I'm Megan, from jersey, married with two little girls, 5 and 1 1/2 years old. I was banded on June 1st, and i've lost 24 lbs so far. Had my first fill on Thursday, 3 cc's...just starting to take on more solid things today. I'd say it's working! Had two eggs at 9:30, didn't get hungry for lunch until 2:30! Having some chicken salad now, hopefully that'll hold me until 7. That's all for now! Have a great holiday everyone!!

Hey, congrats on the 24 lbs!!! I was at 23 and gained 2 back. I was banded on the 9th of June and they won't up my first fill in until Aug. 1st because I am traveling and they don't want me to have any trouble when I am away. Has anyone else gained a little weight back before their first fill? I still feel a bit restricted but, not a ton. I can tell you that I tried a pretzel (stick) and scrambled eggs and I will NEVER eat those two things EVER again! I still haven't thrown up since the surgery and I that was the closest I have come yet.

Thanks guys!!

ididit - I gained back 3 lbs before my fill, but it was that TOM and I lost it right after it finished. I haven't had any issues with eggs. They're actually become my go to food.

      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.
