I think i need my fill!!!



Recommended Posts

So, I've been doing well since I had surgery on the 21st of December. I've lost 33lbs so far. This week I have really been hungry! I don't know if its stress from work or if I'm really hungry, but I think it's stress. Is it normal to get hungry again a few weeks out? Will the fill help? I don't get it until Feb 4th. I'm worried!

Bandster hell. Very normal. For now this is a will power diet. Buy a food scale and start weighing your Protein, then low cal/fat veggies until satisfied.

Yes, perfectly normal. You have healed from the surgery and although the band is in place, it hasn't been adjusted yet so it cannot start to work for you. As Honk says, at the moment this is entirely in your hands.

it is also normal for people to gain some weight in this period but it doesn't have to happen. You can harness the excitement and motivation of your surgery journey for a bit longer to stay on track, follow the band rules and continue to lose weight while you are getting fills and moving towards that elusive green zone.

Best of luck.

      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?

      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.
