Neenagh's Nutty Nattering



Recommended Posts

Thanks for your good thought everyone!!!

Okay called bright and early mon morning (9:00)and they said i could come in at 3 and dr. c. could take out th efill. I hung up the phone and thought screw that and got in the car. I got there at 12:30 and no patients were there at all. Sue and tammy were tho. Sue said she would call Dr. m and see if she could take it out. I said i want to go down to 1.6 but Dr. m (after yelling he told me so) said i had to go right down to 1.5, which was fine by me at this point. They made me drink a whole glass of Water (which took me about 15 minutes) and made me go out and get some Soup and come back and let them know that i got it down. I am still VERY tight, but not in agony, and dr. m said its gonna be rough for a while til the self imposed SWELLING goes down. at least i can slowly get water down.

ps. they were kinda horrified when they weighed me and i was down over 5lbs in 3 days. I think once i get rehydrated tho, it will bounce back up, so i'm not changing my ticker til my weigh in day on thursday.

don't forget Neenagh that you are likely swollen...so you will for sure feel very restricted, even with the defill...it'll go down to where it is a comfortable restriction eventually! Be nice to yourself.

Ditto with yoda, drink some creamy Soups and stuff, take it easy.

I can't believe that that little made such a difference. I was thinking about asking for a fill, from 1.6 to 2.0, but now you scared me.

Sorry to hear about all your trouble. I kinda blame Dr M though, even though you do lurve him. He should have stood his ground with you. He's the Doc, the expert, not you!!! So Dr M. is going to have to learn with this one and you are the one suffering.

Hope your feeling better soon

I missed the whole episode! Sorry Neenagh! Happy you are better!

I never felt as bad as you were describing.

Funny story -- I was at Walmart and since I don't have a scale with me (dam it) I was in the scale section and pulled out a scale to weigh my self. A man walks by and says to me "you're not supposed to do that til you get home" (from holidays) How desperate can I be?

Oh wow, i'm glad you werent in as much distress as i was, cuz if i flet that bad away from home, i don't know how i would handle it!!!

Look at your ticker!!! 176 you lucky girl you!

Boy that guy was brave talking to a strange woman like that. he must have been a confirmed bachelor. it would be hilarious if you went pms all over him! yelling and crying and asking him if u looked fat!hehehe

Neenagh, I can see how you wanted 'more'. I feel like when I get my first fill they should do a really really big one cause I have to fly so far...but then again...maybe not! Glad you are feeling better.

      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.
