WTG Robin! That's great!

Well, I got my fill. Turns out my port has flipped on it's side, but with a bunch of maneuvering, the doc was able to get it turned right so I could get the fill. He added another 2 cc, so I'm up to 4 cc in an 11 cc band. I hope this one works! I'm going to need to get my port fixed, so I'll probably be getting that done in the next couple weeks. I'm just glad my insurance is going to cover the revision!

Well today I got my first fill. I have been banded almost 3 months with no fill. I wasnt actually planning on him letting me get a fill today I was just gonna ask about it. But he said since I've gone longer than most without any fill at all he would do it. So I was a little nervous but it was a breeze no pain at all the only word I could think of to describe it was "weird". It just felt weird to me I could feel my band getting tighter. I have an 11cc band and he put in 3cc's to start. Well I'm back to liquids for a couple days but I'm so happy that I should start losing again. I had a Protein Shake and it took longer to drink than its been taking so I'm taking that as a sign that I'm tighter.:clap2: We'll see.

Go girl. Say goodbye to the 300s!

Congrads Robin! I just had my 2nd fill and had two days of liquids (my own decision) because I have been between 301 and 303 for a month. I wanted to give myself a kick and hope that I become a Twoterville. Well, I did it. I am now 298!!! I'm staying on mushies for a couple of more days so I can get further away from 300. I never want to see that number again.

I don't know if I have restriction yet but it does feel different when I swallow. So I hope I do.

I'm so happy to hear about the victories from you guys. So far fill #2 has been fine for me. No issues today and eating pretty small portions.

Pebbles, you are so beautiful! Your skin is amazing!

ladydi and rlittman -- way to go sisters!!

Am I crazy or are we missing posts from 11/1 and 11/2? I could swear there were some posts about eating Halloween candy, and I think I posted about vomiting everyday. Did anyone else notice this or is my brain starved.

Something odd happened. I couldn't get on for two days, and then, as you said, it seems some posts are missing. Weird.

Speaking of the thread....it's November! Shall we start a new thread? I'll do it...okay so everyone go to the ABC November Chat thread....NOW!!!! LOL!:D

      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.
