Yeah, Beth! It worked!!!

I'm on liquids all day today because I had my fill yesterday. It felt tight yesterday, but this morning when I woke up I feel better - I must be "adjusting" to it! Bwaaahhaaahhaa!!

I glad to hear that. I hope mine goes well next week. I know to have liquids ready ahead of time so I won't have to worry about it on that day.

Where are those Bingo words JMO?

Had my fill today and what an experience that was! lol I was my doc's "guinea pig" cuz he never did a fill before.. after sticking me like 6 times, he found it and I was filled.. they put in 2cc.. he said I have a VG band and will probably have to have another one in a month or so.. I lost a little weight which was good he said since I was wide open. He said he doesn't get very many patients who lose wide open so I must be something right! So that was very nice to hear! I have been trying so hard. So today I am on liquids and he said puddings are ok too but eat very very slow..

the fill wasnt too painful.. just annoying cuz he couldnt hit it right away.. He told me when he was done that I wasn't a "virgin" anymore.. I laughed and said "was it good for you?" and he laughed and said he needs to keep it down cuz people will think that something is going on!! LMAO.. He said he didnt want to go to jail! LOL It is great to have such a nice Doc!

Hope everyone is doing well..

HUGS,

Donna

I am a teacher. We had a new wing added to our building this summer so we are starting later than usual on 9/11. NJ schools usually start day after Labor Day which was a huge change coming from Georgia starting in August. Wish I could say this has been a great summer what with the banding and my achievements with it but unfortunately my DH's caregiver of many years suddenly quit and I have spent time and effort trying to find a replacement. It's like she waited until I had my surgery and boom.....she quit. Why??? Don't have a clue. Was brokenhearted and DH is still so upset he doesn't even want me to call her. Anyway---sorry for venting--I need to have things set before I go back. :phanvan

Aren't you glad I answered your question Baylormom??? LOL

      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.
