First Fill



Recommended Posts

Wow, I was scared! Almost as much as before surgery.....but it wasn't bad at all. Just creepy. :huytsao

I had only .4 cc in my band, and she added 2 cc. Then I waited there and drank Water, but it went down really slowly! She said to come back the next day if it was still really tight, but it is better now and I am eating mushies again. It sure made a difference in stopping the foraging for food that I was starting to do! Feels like the first 2 weeks, and that is what my doc said to look for. :)

I will have my first fill this Friday. This has been life changing already!! I am down 32 pounds in about 6 weeks. I realize I can't keep losing at this same pace forever, but I would love to reach my goal within 1 year!!!! The plateau will come. I lost 70 lbs on Phen-Fen in 3 months. So I look at this as a similar restriction. Then I had to force myself to eat, now I just eat less. I hope everyone else is having similar success. Sorry ladies, I know that we men do lose more quickly. Don't get down! Have a great day!!!!!

Chris,

Hope you get your fill on 17th, already I feel less hungry (thank goodness). Also was told that I'm not actually eating enough so have increased my lunch to 2 cruskits instead of 1.

      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.
