Second Fil....finally!



Recommended Posts

After 4 weeks of hanging on by a rope, it finally came... My second fill date! Restriction is back! I can have a Muscle Milk and feel myself getting full. What a relief. I know it will change again, but I have a spring in my step again. 2 lbs down in first 5 days. That's a motivator!

I'm going on my first post-op date today. Big deal here! Thought I'd want to wait, but sometimes you just have to just take a chance. I'm more proud of myself for putting myself out there than excited to go. Part of "the journey."

Please know I'm with you all! Through highs and lows and all the plateaus! ;)

----Much love and support---

Thank you! Ive only been in the green zone after surgery, and still not sure I'm there. My challenge is eating enough with restriction. I'm either at one extreme or the other (eat a lot or none at all). Everyone talks about liquid calories being so bad, but they are my life saver while I work ion my psychological pull on my eating.

I think liquid calories are only a big no-no when they come in the form of a milkshake, LOL. Really, I know I feel fuller on solid Protein, but the Protein Shakes work well for me in the morning when that's all I have time for. I also think that as I reach restriction I will not want solid stuff in the morning until my band loosens up, so shakes are a good thing!

      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.
