Yeah Fill!!!!



Recommended Posts

Fill, Fill, he's my man... if he can't do it... NOBODY can!!! :banana

Since I very rarely start a new thread unless I have something to complain about... I thought I would share some happy news!

I went today for my second fill in my second band... and I am happy, no thrilled, to report that my doc was able to pull out everything bit of saline (1.3cc) that she put in 7 weeks ago. Yeah!!! This new band is holding the saline, no leaks here baby! She was also able to stick me the first time, which is now two in a row and something she was only successful doing when I layed on my side with the first band. And lastly, I am now at 2cc's. This is the most fill that I have had in either band, so I am really hoping I have some restriction I can work with... maybe there is hope for me yet and I can take off a few pounds over the holiday, while those around me are gaining... HA!!! :):):D

Sorry... I am just feeling very good about my whole experience today. I am on fluids for the next 2 days, but the time should go by fast. I was 237.4 on the doctors scale today, so in the last 7 weeks I have been losing and gaining the same 3+ pounds. I CAN'T wait to be a LOSER!!

I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for letting me share.

It does allow you to breathe a sigh of relief, doesn't it? Once you've had a broken band, it's like you're walking on eggshells, waiting for the next shoe to drop.

That's great news! Now maybe we both can get back to the task at hand!! Woohoo!!

Thanks so much Vera, Michelle, Betty and Leatha! I am breathing a sigh of relief and keeping my fingers and toes crossed that 2cc's will be nice restriction for me. I can't wait to see the scale going down.

I appreciate your well wishes.

You all make me feel so good... I should have checked in earlier today... back when my stomach was growling and I was wondering if I could go another day on fluids. Your well wishes (thanks Marie, Margie, Pam and Michelle (ShellyJ)) plus Greg's post to give me a great laugh would have definitely kept my mind off being so hungry.

Thank goodness for watered down canned Turkey Chili blended smooth and thin... it even beats out creamy Soups.

Thanks again everyone... this is such a great site and you are all so wonderful. I am glad I can come here for support and advise. I don't know what I would do with out YOU!!! (((Hugs))) :banana :banana :banana

      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.
