1st fill - details



Recommended Posts

Good Morning, Good Morning! (I feel like those Viagra commercials) I HAVE RESTRICTION!!!!! Yes, it worked. Went yesterday for my first fill, I wasnt nervous until I saw the needle, Holy Hell!! Anyway Dr. Cobourn has such a great bedside manner that he could have come at me with a jackhammer and I would trust him totally. My port had moved a bit so he had to try a couple of times to get it, but it really didnt hurt. When he did hit the port I could feel him hit it (it was weird). Then he put the saline in I could feel the sensation from the port right up into my throat (that was even weirder). I could drink the Water afterward but it felt different. This morning I ate cottage cheese, I really had to eat slow and had to stop way before I would usually stop because I was FULL!!! I Love this Band, I Love Dr. Cobourn and I Love life TODAY!!!!! How's that for a story....Oh ya, I also had a little caffiene this morning too...hence the drama...:drama:

Hey Cloe,

Thanks for the post, I have my first fill scheduled for Wednesday of this week and I'm a bit nervous. I've already seen the needle though, they actually gave me my needle that came with the band pack at the hospital. I took it to my surgeon. Glad that things are going well for you!

I'm glad your experience was a positive one. I think I was more afraid of the fill than the surgery but I've had 2 now and it's really no big deal. I got restriction on fill #2 so ENJOY!

That is AWESOME Cloe!! Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

How was the trip home on Fri up the 400? Uneventful, I hope!

So, my friend, you and I are sorta at the same point! I went out to dinner last night and I had some poached eggs....and a bite of soft toast with jam on it. YUMMY. I'm not so sure if I was "full" afterwards but I didn't eat much but I think it was more out of fear than being full!! I'm reallly paranoid right now to eat much anything solid....!!!

Anyhoooo, way to go!!!

:scared:

      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.
