Had a fill today and now at 7.25 cc. the only thing different about this fill is my Dr took all the Fluid out to measure how much I already had then she put it all back in plus a .25. It's all fine. Well except she did have problems finding my port which never happen before. She says it tilted a little. So she was searching and moving that huge needle around under my skin trying to get at my port. I know that is going to be sore later.

My big mistake was after my fill I took a big gulp of coffee and then it feels stuck. What do you call that when you keep burping slime? Well that's me right now. And I am hungry, my tummy is growling.

Dr says" liquids today, soft tomorrow and see me again for another fill. If you have any problems, go to the ER to unfill". Well I feel like I just had an unfill and a fill all at once.

Wow, Did I just complain? Sorry for that. Bottom line, I had a fill and I am fine.

I've been to the ER for unfills a couple times, it's a pain! The ER docs have no clue how to do it so I always wait hours for a member of the WLS team to come do it. Ironically they don't really know how to do it either because they rarly do it, they just do the surgery! lol it's commical to watch them try, I'm usualy giving instructions. It's normal for your port to tilt a you lose weight, mine is pretty titled. I usually give it a day or two before I go for an unfill if I can't drink. I suggest going during business hours though so your normal doc can do it. GL!

      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.
