OMG, and I thought I had restriction, 4th fill



Recommended Posts

Well,

I know, might deep subject for such a shallow mind. After I got done shopping all week in Nashville I noticed a sign that said Cinci was closer from there than from home, only 4 hours that way and I usually have to drive 5 so I didn't have an appt. but Dr. Curry's office is so fabulous they said just drive on up and we'll work you in. I only had to weight 5 min. and they called me back and I had only lost 5 pounds in the past 4 weeks so I told him I would like to go aggresive if possible this time, well I got my wish, LOL. He took me to 3 cc's in a 4cc's band, hit it first time, this is the first fill I swear I didn't feel a thing. He sprays it with numbing spray first. Well, I've been gone since Monday so I thought well, I will stay overnight and make sure I'm not too tight, plus he is speaking at a big seminar next weekend in Lexington and he told me if I was too tight just come to the seminar and he kinda laughed. IM TIGHT. It's kind of a good feeling but also scary. I've read all the horror stories. I mean I can still eat but like tonight I could go to mushies so I tried some pureed tuna fish and after 2 bites OMG, tight. They usually loosen up after 2 weeks so I hope this one is the one.

Just thought I would share because I read all the time about how do you know if you have restriction well I now know that you WILL know. LOL.

Hope everyone is doing great.

      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.
