Cant Wait To Get My First Fill!!



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is common but I really feel hungry all the time and I'm only 3 weeks post band. I fight the urge but sometimes I cave. Please I need advice on how to curb my appetite until my first fill! Thanks in advance!!

everyne is going to say the same thin here PROTIENT drinks at 3 weeks you need to just keep drink anything. I find Hot Drinks work the best. Dont be upset if the first fill doesnt feel any differance I have a 10 cc band and 44 cc fill st surgery dsy and now I hace 6cc and could use little more.

you will get there just keep drinking and resting.

yeah, i understand that. the hunger is coming back as you are healing. that was the case to me and i speak only from my experience. i guess until that first fill, and though others may not agree w/me, you must eat like you have restriction. i havent had a fill either, and i know i can and could eat more than my allotted cup of food but i stop as per what my dr told me. so i mentally eat and respond as if i am restricted. i drink alot and drink extra Protein Shake if i am needing it. i also eat when i am hungry. i am just careful about what i eat (for a snack). anyhow, hang in there and congrats on the surgery :)

The best practices for me were to to keep focused on a project, sip Water, or get out of the house for some exercise.

This is one of the more challenging parts of the weight loss journey...but totally doable if you have the proper mind set for success!

      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.
