back for a little adjustment fill



Recommended Posts

After a bumpy couple years where I had way too much PB nearly daily, repeated exams to evaluate potential problems, and blessed resolution from a Life of Slime by largish decrease in fill, I went 6 months ago for a VERY slight fill.

Produced a little benefit with only a slight uptick in Battle for Freedom from Slime. The effect on the dreaded Hunger Beasts roaming my belly at will, was mild and pleasing all in all. There is a very delicate balance between the too much/not enough point in my Band.

Now it is time to again do a slight upward adjustment. Takes most of the day to drive in to the Jaws of Hell, endure the wretched traffic, wait patiently for the pleasant PA to attend my 30 second procedure, and escape from the city again.

Back from my fill appt.

Down SEVEN pounds since last visit in January!!!!

Up 0.1cc in Symbiant, my Little Angel of the Silicon Fist....

now at 1.6 in 4.00 cc band

The most I've ever been able to tolerate was 1.7 and that left with major complications and morbid symptoms.

So cheers to me.

Now for liquids/mushies for the next 4 days.

Wow Jack! Great loss! Where did you have your band done because my doctor says they don't make the 4cc band anymore. My band is a 10 and I think they go as high as 14cc?

I am also ready for a teeny tiny fill.......calling tomorrow. It's been obvious, but I wanted to give it a few weeks to be sure it wasn't just me being restrictive or rewarding -- the two halves of my psyche. So happy for you -- and seven pounds, yee ha!

      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.
