Amy, are you out there? :)



Recommended Posts

This morning I was waiting for a fill at Troy Beaumont, and I got to meet two other patients of Dr. Deol's -- it's so nice to have company!

Amy -- just wanted to tell you, if you are reading, that the pregnancy test ended up negative, my band is fine, and I got a small unfill. I already managed to eat 2oz of chicken and some salad today with no problems. So relieved!

Hope to see you again at a support group meeting!

It was great meeting you! Sounds like your unfill is just what you needed. I hope I didn't get filled to tight I've had a little gurgling when I drink. I guess only time will tell. What an eventful morning you had I hope you didn't have to wait to long for your results. That's the hardest part about trying to get pregnant is the waiting, then out of blue it will just happen. Happened to me twice!! Well I'm definitely going to the next meeting so hopefully I'll see you there.

It was quite the ordeal! I think I waited maybe another 1/2 hour, but by then my friend had come up to hang with me (she is also a patient of Dr. Deol's), so we three had some girl talk while waiting for my lab results! Too funny :)

She took out only a minuscule little bit, but it has made all the difference. I can eat fine, but I still fill up pretty fast. I am definitely glad I went!

      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.
