Need A Defill And Scared.



Recommended Posts

I know I 100% need a defill, but I'm a little freaked out about it. I'm only 10lbs away from onderland!!!

They are going to take .5cc's out this afternoon. It kind of seems like a lot.

It will be so nice to eat solid foods again. It all began with a case of gastro in May but this heat has done me in.

I'm scared!!!

Nothing to be scared of, if anything, not having an over-filled band will help. Too often when someone's band is too tight they rely on slider foods because they can't eat real food, and more often than not, slider foods are fat and calorie loaded. Plus, having a band too tight can lead to slips, so it's a good thing you're having a little removed.

Plus, remember, as time goes on you can always slowly have more added again. That's the beauty of the band, there is lots of room to work with.

This is a good thing. Be happy not scared :)

      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.
