No Fill At 2Months Post Op



Recommended Posts

Tried getting a fill at 1 month post op but dr was not able to locate port and extremely painful. Went back yesterday and a diff doctor said I don't need one yet. That avg weightloss should be 10 lbs and that I've already lost 8lbs in 3 weeks. Ugh!!! Part of me really wants one. I feel like I'm losing very slow. I'm apparently impatient :/

I understand the frustration I was banded May 23 and have only lost 35 lbs and my doctor has yet to give me a fill keep in mind I lost the first 25 in the first month I am very impatient as well. Its getting harder and harder for me not to over eat. I am hoping my doctor will give me a fill soon cause if I let my self I'm sure I could eat a house. Ive gone from 217 to 182 and I thought I'd be atleast 170 by now. I guess I guess I am a slow loser. I know I should excersize on a regular basis but I usally only get in about once a week but it's still very hard on my lungs and joints but I guess I am just going to need to start but it would make it alot easier if I had restriction cause I tend to over eat when I excersize since I have no restriction.

Jessi...I don't understand...you were banded May 23 and you've "only" lost 35 pounds...in two months most people would give their left kidney for that toe of weight loss.

i think you need to change your thinking to how well you have done and loss instead of what you havent and being impatient.

you sure didnt get gain all your weight overnight. you are not gonna lose it all that quickly. you need to chill and do exactly what it is you are doing. it seems to be working.

so whats the problem??

      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.
