Hello All,

Well I have been totally unfilled cause of pouch dilation and so a few weeks ago they said that the pouch returned to normal so they put 3/4 of a CC in my 4cc band. Today I went for a possible fill and GI series well the doctors assistant said that I am filled enough. That any tighter and I would be vomiting. I was a bit dissapointanted cause I don't have as much restriction as i would like and I don't really feel full. He said he is going by what he sees and as I was drinking he saw a little reflux so said no your are tight enough maybe in 2 weeks if it changes. My weight was as low as 156 and now I am 170. I started at 215 and my goal is 140. I don't no what to do, I no what its like to feel that full feeling cause i was 3cc's filled when i had the problems with the pouch stretching. I am not saying i should be filled to 3cc's but maybe at least 1cc would be nice. I should really start to exercise and i just made a nutritional appointment so hope that will help. I am so scared of my weight going back up i am sure you all can relate to that.

Anyway any advice would be kind and I appreciate you all just being there to listen, Thanks for the support.

Cheryl

Hey cherg! How's it going?

I just went back on Thursday and got another .5 cc's. I am not as tight as I was before when I had to get unfilled, but at 1.5 cc... I think I am liking where I am at.

I hope things are going good for you. YES, I know how bad it sucks to gain weight after an unfill. I gained close to 20 pounds I believe. Now, I am only 9 away from my all time low.

You can do this. As always... PM me if you need anything!

      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.
