Hello, all!

Hope everyone is doing well. The last month has gone by fast, and I've been doing really well. Until today.....

I went for my first fill today. I only got 2.5 cc (long story), but I feel horrible. My stomach is crampy. I have that pain that radiates up into my left shoulder. I'm just plain uncomfortable. I can drink ok, and I guess it's a good thing I'm not allowed to eat until Thursday...liquids only.

Bottom line, is this supposed to suck this bad? LOL

Thanks!

I always feel yucky the rest of the day. Don't know why. It almost feels like really bad mendtral cramps with tummy ache n back ache. I always schedule at end of day so I can take pain meds and go to bed. No fun at all.

I had my first fill yesterday--3.5cc's. I was MISERABLE!! Nothing would go down right, I was starving but couldn't eat and on and on. I finally called my dr today and went in to have .5cc removed. It was amazing how much better I felt right away!!! Hang in there, but don't assume this is how it is. Listen to your body. My gut was telling me as I was pulling away from the dr's office the first time that something wasn't right. Good luck!

      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.
