I had one night of super bad pain in my stomach where I almost couldn't get out of bed. I am sure it was the gas. Fyi so you can be prepared. It sounds like you are doing great! :-)

I am a month out and my large incision still give me pains at times. It still has a scan on it. But I am diabetic so it will take longer to heal. :-(

Kerryisme: I had Doc Stevenson as well---he seems to be great thus far.. My scars ar so small compared to other who had procedure by other doctors... If you don't mind me asking, your big incision, is it higher or lower closer to your navel? Mine is at least six inches higher to my left vs others whose are lower... Maybe I have a longer torso? My first fill is this Thursday... Can't wait to get this moving !

Gary- you'll be fine and do great!

Keep me posted!

Hey there. My scar is also about 6 inches high than my naval and also just off the the left. I am not sure if this is the norm or not. I am anxious to hear about your fill. I have mine scheduled for the 26TH and cannot wait. I feel like I could eat the same as I did before the surgery. Excited to find that "green zone" keep me updated please. :-)

Hi Everyone :) I've been on vacation for a while. Maintained my weight and lost a couple of lbs. on vacation. The best thing was that on this vacation, I fit so much better in the airplane seats and could buckle my seat belt with no effort! Two years ago when I went to Hawaii, I hid my seat belt area because I was too embarrassed that it didn't fit around me and buckle. It's these tiny victories that make you so excited!

Going for my 3rd fill on Monday and hoping that I get some restriction. I haven't had much of anything yet. I know that I also have to get back into the gym. Being a teacher and being on summer break has caused me to be a little lazier and slack in the exercise department. Now that I'm done with vacation, routine will be starting :)

Love reading everyone's posts. I'm learning so much from all of you!

That sounds great Phxgirl! I am kind of aggravated with True Results. They tell me to come back in two to three weeks for a fill and they can't get me in for two months! Are you having the same problem?

Maybe they should hire some more staff. We should maybe email corporate. May help?

Yep, having the same problem too. They supposedly have been hiring new people but things haven't changed. Waiting over a month for a fill is very discouraging to all of us because we are trying to make this work and hit the green zone. Maybe a call to corporate would work, not sure?

      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.
