Fill after 18 months- UGH



Recommended Posts

Well, I completely forgot why I had a complete unfill over a year ago. Today, I remember why. I cant eat! I hate that I cant eat. I can barely keep down my Vitamin Water. I guess this could just be that my stomach isn't used to this and is swollen but im hungry. I tried to have some Soup - nope. crackers - nope, chips - nope. I know.. i know, i should be eating healthier food but I cant keep anything down. Now I found a Protein drink in one of the vending machines and it seems to be working, except I keep getting hiccups.
Is my band too full? It only has 3cc out of 11. Any suggestions on what to do? What to eat? Should I go and have some removed or wait to see if the restriction goes down?

My doctor was charging $100 a fill and then $50... I stopped going for fills because of this and gained all of the weight back that I lost. 230lbs down to 180lbs and now im back to 230lbs.
The fills are free now, so I can go back whenever.

I have 2 weddings next year Maid of Honor for both. I NEED to lose this weight.

Just had my first one in 13 months. Good luck! Remember you have done it once, you can do it again! I wish my fills were free!

      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.
