Just talked to Amy and had my 2nd fill



Recommended Posts

I told everyone I would call Amy and let you all know if she was okay. She is fine and she said tell everyone that she's very busy and just doesn't have time right now to get on here because she needs all of her attention focused on her work with Microsoft. She is going for her first fill tomorrow and weight loss is going great.

I also went for my 2nd fill. Everything went wonderful. I now have 2.25 and I'm staying in a hotel here overnight before I make the journey home tomorrow so that in the morning if I'm too full Dr. Curry said he would take some out but he wanted to go to 2.5 so he thinks I'll be fine. I had lost 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks since my last fill so I guess I am pretty much on track. It went great he used the fluro and hit it right off the bat. Took about 4 seconds. Man it feels good when your Doc hits it right off the bat.

Well, I'm at the Hotel, little sore from the poke so I'm going to drink me some Water, take me some sominex and go nightey night. For some reason I cannot sleep anymore. I've slept 5 hours in the past 4 days. Sucks. I don't know what's wrong. Could be waiting up for my 19 yr. old son who doesn't seem to make it home until 4:00 Am. Could be.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Amy also said tell everyone hello and when she gets time she'll give everyone a yell.

Ooo, I just had my first fill and would like to know when you know you need a second fill.

Is it when your weight slows down, or when you can eat too much?

Thanks in advance.

Continued success.

I could still gulp my drink down, eat toast, chicken, steak, or whatever and when I called they said that 2 weeks after first fill I could have another if I needed it. When they weighed me today I had lost 4 pounds in the 2 weeks exactly since I'd been there but he still let me get my fill since I could gulp and eat anything, I just don't eat much of anything. I now have 2.25 and I think it will do much better. He was going to go 2.50 but I'm so petrified of the pbing I was scared to. I feel very well so far. Hope this helps some.

      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.
