Hey everyone, thanks for the concern. I have not been doing well or eating properly so I am going to hold off on going to see Hoffman and having Fluid taken out. I gained 5 pounds! When I think of how hard it was to lose and how easy and quick to gain I am just sick. I can't wait for Easter to be over and the damn choclolate bunnys taken away and also for the nice weather so I can get out and work in the yard and bike ride. Hopefully this is a small setback. One thing is for sure - I will not buy larger clothes!!!!

Val, I wish I can say that.. I am going in on wednesday morning and this fill will be #5. I feel more restriction that I have before but not nearly enough to loose. We'll see what they say. Is anyone else going on the 15th ?

Have a good Easter.

Well I havent been on here in a fwe weeks. I went in for another fill 2 days ago. It had been 2 months since my last appt & I went up .5 lbs. I guess thats not bad but not good either. I dont know what my problem has been, its like that self-sabotoging part of me is coming back. I've been really bad about drinking with meals, not every time but a good majority of the time. So I get the lecture for that which I really needed. Its frustrating I was doing really good on SB & exercising before the surgery then everything went all haywire after the surgery & it threw me all off.

I really need to start reading this site more regularly it really does give you a lot of encouragement & remind you to stay on track. I'm trying not to get discouraged, I've lost about 24 lbs overall but its just stopped.

Since the fill I cannot get anything down. It has been extremely painful. I'm really not full but just after taking about 2-3 bites and chewing ALOT it still gets stuck. Any suggestions on things that may go down easier but are still higher in Protein? ? I really do not want to get any Fluid removed unless its an absolute last resort.

Thanks for letting me vent:)

Danielle

      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.
