1st fill down...



Recommended Posts

Got my first fill yesterday. Had 4cc's added to my 10cc band. It was super quick, easy and painless. I am on liquids until Saturday. I am not sure I feel any different today or not. I brought a Protein Shake to work and have been sipping on it all morning. I do feel some twinge of hunger, but nearly as much as I would have before the fill. I hope I get a better idea of how this newly filled band is working once I am back on solid foods.

I just got my second fill today. I had 1cc place on jan 27 and today.75 so far a total 1.75cc. I don't go back for another one u til June. But I was told if thibgs feel like I can eat all the time again to call my doctor. So far down 2 sizes amd gain 2 lbs back. Dr. Jones says it is muscle which is good, but my mind thinks of the number... keep up the good work!!

      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.
