How do I know how much is too much???



Recommended Posts

I had my second fill today - my doc does not use flouro. Apparently I'm one of his "difficult" patients that he has a hard time filling. I have to lay down on a pillow with a Dallas phone book under it for him to try and find my port. Then he sticks me several times and today he even asked the nurse for a different size needle! Anyway, after my first fill I was able to drink a whole cup of Water with no problem. This was 3 wks ago. As of the first part of this week, I was able to eat a hamburger with no problem, so I decided to get another fill. After the torture of today's fill, I drank a sip of water and felt restriction. They said "Great, see you in a month" and I was on my way. Now I've been trying to drink some juice and keep feeling like I need to burp, and have pressure in my throat. I've never PB'd so I don't know how that feels, but I don't like the way I am right now. I was wondering if I would feel better if I tried hot liquids. I don't want to go back to the doc for an unfill unless I absolutely have to. It takes 3 hours of time away from work, not to mention the discomfort. I need to know if most people feel this way right after a fill, and if I will do better in a few days, or if you think I may need to go back. My doc's going to be out of town for the next 2 wks, so I'll have to see him tomorrow if I'm going to. - Thanks!!

      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.
