Headed in for an unfill:(



Recommended Posts

Tried to make it work, but I couldn't even make it back to the solid phase. Like even salmon or small bites of chicken. Chewing 30

Times and putting fork down for 1 minute. So then hungry and wanting junk. Hopefully this helps. I can't throw up again.

This is what your partnership with the surgeon is all about -- you two will work to get that fill just right. No throwing up, that's not okay! Let us know how you're doing. Best wishes!

Great decision. You don't want to throw up. That's not normal. Be patient you will get there.

Good call my friend! You have to make the band work with you and for you not against you. There is no "right" way if it doesn't work for you then it's not right. :) Hope your feeling great again soon!!

Thanks guys! She said she could tell I was very tight from the pressure the Fluid was pushing into her syringe. She checked band under fluoro and said everything looks great. Saw a big gas bubble from food not being able to go down! 48 hours of fluids and then hopefully I'll be able to eat again!

      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.
