Chronicles of Cloe!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey Cloe...my only advice about needing another fill is: if you are doing things "right" and you aren't losing 1-2 lbs per week (on average) then you may want to consider a fill. BUT, remember you can plateau for a couple/few weeks and then drop 4 or 5 lbs.....so don't get your fill too soon....as long as your losses average 1-2 lbs per week over a month you are likely okay.

I also am experience heartburn, but I had it before the band. I took a prescription drug call Prevacid. When I brought my meds to the clinic the day of my surgery, Maria pointed at it and said "You won't be taking that anymore". I was so nervous about the surgery, I never asked why. Well I still take it when I need it, but I thought that the reason for taking it daily was to prevent the heartburn. The acid is bad for your insides and from what I've read on this site that it's bad for the band.

Does anyone else take a prescribed antacid? Is it something that we are allowed to take?

LOL..........I know, I know, I just have no patience. Im asking Santa for patience for Christmas this year. I was telling my mother yesterday, and she laughed and said, "god gave you everything dear, except patience". So I am asking Santa for some. Don't you think by the ripe ole age of 41 I would have learned by now? Again, you guys are awesome, putting up with my little meltdowns every few months.:phanvan Thanks Maria for the hug, I actually felt it. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! :) :) :D;):D:)

I'm not sure really, Mandi. I know when I heard that Dr. C gave Jude shit about what she was eating, I decided that I was eating to much junk food. Like quick on the go food. I went right back to good, good food again. Maybe thats it??

      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.
