I Finally Have Restriction.



Recommended Posts

I had my second fill the other day and I finally know what restriction feels like. I love it!!! I am now at 4.5 cc's. The first fill was 3 cc's that took the edge off, but after a month I was white knuckling through the day with hunger. I have been using A LOT of self restraint for the past 3 months and I have been able to lose 36#'s in the process. Without this last fill, I am sure that I would have started gaining quickly. My meals were getting larger and I was losing self control. When I told my doctor I was able to eat 2 pieces of pizza no problem, she said I needed a fill. So 1.5 cc's later, I am eating like I did 3 weeks after surgery. I was able to only eat 1 oz of rotisserie chicken and 2 broccoli florets for dinner the other night and I was stuffed. I love it! (Yes, I love my band)! I'm looking forward to ramping up my weight loss this month as my 20 year high school reunion is at the end of this month. Wish me luck on that!

      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.
