my recent fill



Recommended Posts

I had my 3 or 4th fill 2-3 weeks ago. My doctor goes very slow with the amounts. Total I have either 2.2 or 2.4cc's. This last fill did it!! Last night I was eating dinner and I couldn't finish. About time. This was also my first fill since February.

Tonight we were out for late lunch early dinner or as my MIL calls it luper. We had an early bird and it includes desert. I had vanilla ice cream. Ice cream is a slider food and I eat about 1/4 of a cup and was full. Great feeling.

I totally understand no 2 people are a like. What I don't understand is when doctors do large cc's of fills and the bander is unhappy and feels like they need more and I have a little and I am fine.

Have a great weekend everyone. I hope my wonderful Red Sox kick ass tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had only 3 fills .. total of 2.5 .. My dr. said it all depends on the person.. I told him I was reading about people who would get 2 or 3 cc or more at a fill.. He said he was very conservative and did not want me to get too tight.. He also said if people think being filled often and alot would make them lose faster or more they were wrong.. I am glad he is careful and each time I have been filled I do great.. no issues. I do notice a difference and if I eat slowly, chew thoroughly and measure my portions I do fine. Sounds like you have a conservative Surgeon as well. You are doing great with a 80 lb loss..

      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.
