Doctor Appt/fill Update



Recommended Posts

Hidy yall!

Doctor appt Oct 26th...

We decided not to adjust my band this time around....Last visit was 4 weeks prior and I lost 6 lbs between visits.....Currently band at 7.2...I told the nurse that I had started to fall out of the green zone within the last couple of days...We talked and she suggested with my weight lose and activity level and I give my body more fuel to burn off as I run.....Next appt is scheduled for 3 weeks to revisit fill......Kinda having seconds thought! as I am SO very hungry today! Not my head hungry my belly talking hungry!

I have a 10CC band....

I meant to ask her what is the max full they will place?

Anyone have any idea??

I'll be in the same boat with to fill or not. I have good weight loss since adjustment to 5.75 in band, finicky band I think I'm in green zone still. Trying to decide if I'm head hungry or If Im Bly hungry. That was my question, too...when do you fill to fullest or do you always stay in green zone when you hit goal? I've got 24 pounds to go.

      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.
