3 mo post op second fill



Recommended Posts

Had my second fill today Fluid removed to confirm no loss than returned and 4 more cc's added I misunderstood the amount that was added on my first fill I thought it had been 5cc's but the Doctor said that he put in 5 then drew off to 2, that now explains why I was feeling no restriction, the doctor said that my progress since surgery has been excellent a total of 41# since surgery and 71# since being approved. I have been in a kind of a stall for the last 2 weeks 220# but up one day down the next day. I hope this fill will let me get below 200 I now have 6cc in a 11cc band.

Doctor knows best :)

Keep your eye on those soft stop signals. They're hard to see or feel in the beginning. Good job!

You are doing great! My surgeon doesn't share the amount of my fills so I have no idea. But whatever we are doing seems to be working. Also sometimes when the scale isn't moving that's right when I notice other things, like pants too loose and time for a new size. Keep your eyes on the non-scale victories as those can be really motivating. Best wishes!

      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.
