No 1st Fill for me today :(



Recommended Posts

My doctor said I was right in the middle of the "to fill or not to fill" area because he is happy with what I have lost so far . . . so he opted to wait until the 17th for my first fill - BOO! AND . . . he asked how much I was eating at a time. When I said 1/2- 1 cup . . .he said "no - I want you to report back to me in BITES. I want you to do 8 bites and then stop . . . and see how that works". OMG . . . I'm going to be climbing the walls before January 17th! I should mention that he wants me on 2 Protein Shakes a day also for Snacks . . . for 3 months . . . and to make sure I'm getting enough Protein.< /p>

Chris,

I'm sure that was disappointing after all this time thinking it was coming today. On the plus side, you're doing something wonderful if he didn't think you needed the fill. Keep up the awesome work and the 17th will be here in no time.

On the other side.... BITES??? How in the world do you count bites? I thought you were doing great with the 1/2 cup thing. Now you have me scared about the 8th. However, I've not been able to keep it under 1 cup yet.

I'm working this week on getting my Water in this week. That is my goal. Set yourself a goal that maybe has NOTHING to do with weight and it will help you focus. Good luck on waiting. You're doing awesome right now. Hold on to that.

Chris...well sounds like you're doing great!!!

When i start my mushies and until im at goal weight, Im only allowed 1oz meals at a time. 3 oz meals Per day. I bet that equals to about 8 bites..

Lots of people are doing the 1/2c-1c , but im only allowed a measly ounce.

You can do it, gf!

      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.
