4th fill and on my way !!



Recommended Posts

well i did it and went to mexico for my 4th fill (man what a trip) i had my fill done by dr.martinez and i am over the moon, i was so scared as it had been so long since i was looked at and i was shaking like a leaf , but everything was fine ,i got a 1cc fill and i am now at 7cc in a 10cc band and boy its working again. i suppose you could say i had a year off as i got a fill about a year ago and i felt restriction but it slowly went away through time or me just eating around the band and so i didn't lose a pound for all this time and got so discouraged i was almost thinking take the bloody thing out,, :faint: i am so glad i didn't and kept on as now i know i am back on track, i am self pay and the trip to mexico broke the bank a bit but if i now start to lose weight again its going to be worth every red cent !! i have lost three pounds since the 24th and could cry as its the first time in ages i seen the scale go down !! i went with hubby and stayed in the lucerna hotel (5 star) and had a fun night in there (no kids) say no more maybe thats where i wore off my three pounds ha ha. but i think i have sweet spot and know i won't be able to eat alot of the stuff i was cheating with like before , i have educated myself alot more and dr.martinez was brilliant giving me alot of tips.. well just a update and won'ted you all to know i am soooooooooo happy sherry xxx:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Congrats on the scale moving again. I get easily discouraged too if I don't see the scale moving, maybe I should have hubby hide ours? LOL Congrats, hope you can make our next meeting. :)

Sherry, I think that is the good thing about the band. When you get ready to continue your trip to the new you, it's there, waiting.... And now you're back on the bike and heading down hill. Congratulations!

      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.
