I got a fill yesterday and I think I might finally be in the "green zone"?? Or is it too soon to tell? Yesterday and today, I have eaten half of what I have been eating since the surgery.

How are you feeling? I had a lot of gas pain in my neck and jaw after the surgery. Don't know how he is with you but with me, he hardly ever talks! However, this last time, he said more words than all times combined. lol

How many fills have you had? Is this the first time you have felt any "restriction" after a fill? I get my first fill this Saturday, sure hope it helps. So far I've felt no restriction whatsoever.

Lol, i know what you mean. He is pretty quick and to the point with me, but to be honest i kind of like that. I dont really need all the jibber jabber. I want to know whats going to happen, what i need to do, and how it affects me. I did have a lot of shoulder pain, but it has been better especially this morning. The gas was pretty bad also, but same thing, I am doing much much better this morning.

This is my fourth fill... I have had to really control myself before and I could eat anything/any amount.

      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.
