3Rd Fill Today!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone:)

I got my 3rd fill today after work.

I already had 5cc in my band and no restriction. My Doc decided to put another 2.5 in and I could not swallow water! I was so surprised, it was great to finally feel the band work! Lol

To this point I swear it felt like I never had the surgery and have lost my 20 lbs with pure will power. Anyways, we decided 2.5 was a lil much and he took out 0.5. He thinks this one should do the trick!! I sure hope that 3x is the charm!!!!

That pure will power is a tough thing.

Hope this fill works out for you.

I get my first fill one week from today, excited and scared.

PS. I only see one post.

My surgery was Valentines Day 2/14/12...

Yes, willpower is no joke! Just feels like "any other diet" until we get restriction! (that quote is used a lot but sooooo true!) good luck to you as well:)

I got my third fill last Thursday. Woohoo I have restriction. I have had to slow waaaay down eating and my portions are half. I'm only at 4.6 in a 10 band but boy do I feel it now.

      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.
