Well I got my first fill today. I was a little anxious because my wounds are not quiet healed. I am happy to report that all went well. The PA had to stick me twice with no luck finding the port. So she sent me to xray and did it there. It turns out she was pretty far off but the xray found it with no problem. None of the sticks were that bad. I thought they would be worse. I am a little sore now but no problems. Since I started the pre-op diet on 3-1-12 and surgery on 3-9-12 I am down 37 pounds. Pretty unreal if you ask me. All without starving.

Let the new habits begin.......... :)

Did she tell you how much she put in for this first fill?

And when do they want you to come back...

That's nice they took u down to X-ray. They just stab and stab til they find it on me! I had 15-20 stab marks last time and was bruised almost to my belly button. The nurse had to bring in more lidocaine. They gave me 8 or more shots of that! I was sooo sore!

@B-52, they put just 2cc in. I travel for a loving so we are taking it slow. I don't want to have issues on the road. My next fill will be 3-4 weeks. They told me to start mushies today to make sure I do not have issues on the road. So far no problems. I had eggs this morning and a bannana for snack. So far so good.

      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.
