2nd Fill Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Soooo ready for tomorrow and my 2nd fill. Currently at 4cc and hoping they will put 2cc more in my band. Really wanting to feel the presence of my band. So far everything is good and I've lost 28lbs but more inches than pounds.

Surgeon put in 2.5 so now I'm at 5.5 cc. I'm down 32 pounds since October. Slow and steady is great with me.

Awe @@weneebug you will get there. Everyone is different and you might not need as much. Your doctor is just being cautious I'm sure

I'm counting calories to help me keep on track. It would be easy for me to eat carbs if I allowed myself chips, bread, ice cream, etc.

cheese, crackers, chips, dip...I have to keep it out of my sight or I dig in. Hubby is great about putting the Snacks and Cookies is a cabinet I can't reach without a step ladder, and he put the step ladder down the basement. LOL he knows me well.

I wonder why you're so nauseous? I haven't been at all except when I had the stomach bug

I'm thinking it was something like a 24 HR thing. Feeling fine now. I'm just having to really work hard on eating really small meals...my fill seems to restrict me to about half of what I was eating. 1/2 of 4oz is hardly worth the effort of eating.

I'm having a difficult time eating too. I'm at 5.5 cc. My husband said he thinks my bites of food are too big. I use to eat a golf ball size meatball in 3 bites. Today I did that and about died. I ate my second one over 10 minutes and in 10 small bites.

      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.
