4 Fills and 6 Months



Recommended Posts

After 4 fills and 6 months, I finally have "real" restriction. :clap2: My previous fills helped me to lose weight, but I have always been able to eat pretty much anything I want, and had to really work hard not to over eat. Now, I can only eat a few ounces of food, and I have to really chew chew chew, which really slows down my eating too. :hungry: I hope this fill will kick my loss into high gear.

:)

What size band to you have? I have the inamed 11cm/9cc band. I have only had 2 fills and I am at 6cc, do for another fill VERY SOON. This last fill had some restriction, hoping this next is the sweet one, running out of fill room.

Terri,

I have the Inamed VG band. My doctor said it can hold up to 12cc including the tube. I don't know how much I have now, but it must be over 10cc, that is what I had at fill number 2.

Sounds like you may need another fill. Just keep going back until it is right, like I said it took me 4 fills and 6 months.

      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.
