Today--my second fill...



Recommended Posts

:faint::(Today-(June 13-2007) was my second fill. Dr Weaver of St Francis Hospital or Memphis, TN--she did .6 cc's--for a total of 1.6 cc's...It seems to be ok...I feel sick to my stomach though. I took a bit of my son mac and cheese....I shouldn't have tasted it. I ate a piece of chicken and some veggies for lunch...I have not eaten again...I can't...It's only 6 -1/2 hours since...I want to see the morning and see how I feel.

I've only lost 27 pounds....I can't use my scale they say...Maybe mine was off...their scale says--I've lost only 1 pound each week--for a total of 4 pounds since the last fill...It's ok--but--I am dissappointed..

I am dreaming of the day when I wake up and get on my scale at 175 or 180 pounds. I am now 247--down from 273...But that day will come...Back to the drawing board and early morning biking...Sadly--I live in a small town--1 Gym--no day care--when I am a single Parent who is retired. Oh well...I can't wait til the kids go back to school in August.......:clap2:

<p>Yes--that was me in the office...I got the second fill. I am doing ok. I know I will need a third. I notice--I am tight in the morning--loose during the evening...I am down from 273 to 247 now. My goal is 180 by December----if my weight averages 2.5 pounds loss each week.(27 weeks left in the year) The weather has messed me up. I have got to set my clock to get up each morning by 5-am. Normally I ride my bike through town--but since the heat has hit...oh no. I tried it one day--I was soooo spent--so tired after riding...I needed so much sleep</p> <p>Yes--I am a retired guy due to a back disability. Then also a single Father of the two boys you saw. I have been working hard for 7 years with them. From babies--to now thinking little guys. Did you notice--they were bored at waiting on me. (hahahahahahaha)...But it's a good thing they understand what I am doing. My goal is actually 163--or so they tell me. I just hope I can get that 85% to 90% lost (91-96 lbs)--which most Lap band patients achieve.My best time when they go back to school in August. Because--living in this tiny town of Hernando, MS--there is just one Gym and the owner don't have a day care, unless you go to Southaven. "The Oympic Fitness". It's ok..I will keep up my weight loss--no matter what transpires...I have number 50 coming on thursday--that will be my Birthday....

Your sons were very cute. I was the woman in the red shirt and denim shorts (you may not remember me). I thought about saying something, but I wasn't sure if it was you or not.

Happy (Belated) birthday, Lee! Sorry to hear you were feeling sickish after your fill. Don't know about your doctor, but my doctor puts me back on Clear Liquids the day of a fill and full liquids the next day, then back to food the 3rd day. I think it is so my stomach can adjust to the newly filled amount of restriction. I've only had one fill so far and I didn't have any problems with it. Keep up the good work--I know what you mean about the weather! This southern heat (and humidity) just sucks the life right out of you! Don't worry, August will be here before you know it!

      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.
