3rd fill. Now it works



Recommended Posts

I ask my Dr what size band I had he just said large, and he put 2cc in it and said I will do 2 more next month.

I'm not green and not sure I will even strive for it. I can eat an adequate portion but then I'm full and stop. I'm losing but I'm sure not as fast as if I were "green". I only have 2.5 in my band and even if I get another my surgeon is going very slowly.

I understand that. For me I find the lack of choice easier to live with. I have a small capacity now. I won't waste it on poor choices.. I find it makes things clean cut for me. But I acknowledge we are all unique. What works for one might not for another..glad your happy and doing well.. :)

Hi fashionstylist!!! My band lady told me generally people with a 14 band find restriction around 8-10. No doubt there are huge variables. So depending on how your fill amounts your getting there... Keep rocking the fabulousness

Okay that's good to hear. So I'll stop panicking. I'm still staying within my calorie limit.

Your doing gr8..I was really tearful for a while. I hated being hungry all the time..it felt just like a regular diet and they weren't a fabulous success (or I wouldnt be here) so wondered why I'd spent all that money! I did voice that and my band lady did fill quite aggressively. As long as things stay like this I won't be needing another fill for?? Possibly ever. When's your next fill scheduled? Hopefully not too long too wait...

I get a fill every month . I just got one on tues so I have 3 more weeks. I am staying full for 3-4 hrs. I think I was just having a moment because I didn't work out yesterday. For some reason if I don't work out I feel like I'm gaining weight bit actually the opposite is happening. It's a mind thing..

      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.
