PRE-FILL Blues??



Recommended Posts

I have also heard that if you dont get in enough calories that your body goes thru a starvation period and stores everything that it can...I went thru this the last several weeks before my first fill too...The scale wouldnt move no matter what I did...I thought I was doomed from the very beginning and was very depressed until I had this explained to me

Boy, this advice couldn't have come at a better time for me. I've been struggling mightily. You've eased my mind, now I'm refocusing.

Thanks

Leatha, what does it mean write a post that just says: "bump. bump, bump"? I know it has o do with re-posting something that ws good an applicable again, but can you explain specifically what yours mean?

thanks!

Exactly that. I am merely placing a reply on an old post in order to bring it up to the top again so that new people can view it.

There are certain questions that come up again and again and with each new wave of new members, some discussions come up over and over. So, when I see posts that refer to this topic, I might often 'bump' it up again, so that the newest members can possibly use it. Make sense?

Yes, thanks for the reminder. I am in this mode right now.....but I will drink Water til I ooze and one of these days some weight will drop off.

I had a problem in the beginning of not losing, and I had gained muscle, so just because you're not losing, you MAY be gaining much needed muscle.

Of course, now a year later...hmmmmmm.

Love the repost. It reminds me again as to why I am doing this and to be patient with the fills and weight loss. I'm losing a lb a week and so far its better than gaining. Thanks again.

      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.
