Hi everyone,

well had my 2 nd fill on the 9th only put in 1.5 cc's and the next few days was on my liquid diet,

was not feeling very well on the 12th but tried to eat a few bites without any luck on the 15th I called Dr's told them I was unable to eat was PB'ing and things were sticking no matter what I did...they looked at the pic of the band and said there should be no reason but if I really thought I need some taken out they would see me on the 19th....well on the 17th I ended up coughing and trying to catch my breath with Pneumonia ,finally starting to feel human again but I have been unable to keep anything Solid down liquid yes but when it comes to food no luck...still thinking I should have 1cc taken out but I guess I will wait for a few more days and see if maybe some of the swelling does down...someone did tell me that with the hard coughing it could also make my band slip...so praying that is not the case.

I must say this is something I Never wish to go through again, after this even catching a cold scares me, let alone a flu.

I don't see how coughing can cause a slip. Your lungs and stomach have little in common.

I agree, sit it out a few days and see if everything calms down?

      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.
