Fill #4 pain



Recommended Posts

Had surgery on July 1, 2013 I was 240 pounds had my 4th fill today and it was the most pain I have ever had with a fill they found my port but the needle would not go in so they thought my port had Flip over because when she tried to put the needle in it keep hitting something after 5 attempts I told her take the needle out right now it hurts so she did so I waited a couple minutes and we tried it again apparently my port is at an angle so you can't go straight in like some people you have to turn my needle to the side so she said as people lose weight sometimes your port tens to shift

So now I'm at 6.5cc I hope this puts me in my green zone weight today was 220

EeeeOUCH! That does not sound like it was so much fun! Do you always have the same person do the fills for you?

I would not want to have someone poke me all those times and hurt me. I'm glad it all worked out in the end. I hope this fill takes you to green!! I haven't reached that point yet...

      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.
