Well, I have just returned from having my first fill. I did take one of their Demerol because I am a sissy. This turned out to be a blonde move on my part because I didn't need it, but then I am a blonde! I was given 5cc and told to drink four paper cups of Water from their water cooler. I began to salivate half-way through the first cup. The water felt like it was sitting in my esophagus and it simply wasn't going to move. I wanted to sick it up but couldn't and I wanted to burp. I finally did this and felt much better. After all this personal drama I came out of the washroom and asked that the nice lady remove one cc of the fill. I was able to drink after that.

I also discovered that I lost 13 lbs over the past 6 weeks. Yippee!!!!!! Green is very happy about that. I hope that I can keep this up.

While I was there I met some nice women and found out that some of them are still tender in their port sites, too.

My next fill appointment is on October 31st.

Thanx for your kind words. That missing 13 lbs sure does feel good!

I kinda wish I hadn't got my fill today, though. We have a French guy staying with us and I am gonna be on liquids for the next 24 hours. I don't want to get into explanations for this. He is here for a conference and I am hoping that he won't be home for dinner tonight. Then I will be able to drink my Soup in peace.

He is, like all the French people I know, extremely slender and can eat like a wolf. I want one of those metabolisms when I grow up! Oh, well....

I think it is too late for you and me Green to have fast metabolisms,:) but then i do not think i ever had one, even when i was younger,maybe a shot with the laser :) would speed us up, what do you think? LOL

Hope you get to enjoy your Soup in peace.

The TLBC booked three appointments for fills before they sent me home from the hospital after the operation. Each of these appointments is roughly 2-3 weeks apart. The last one is mid-November.

The weird thing is that I am starving right now.:) I have never been this hungry since the operation. I could eat my cat.:paranoid I am smoking far too many cigarettes because I am that hungry! This is really bad!:help: :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
