Happy New Year

Quiet here, had a pre new year party with a few friends, so went to bed early last night.

it is strange to hear fill of 5.5 or 6. I only have a 4cc band and have 1.5 in me

Trying to start the new year off right, positive and happy.

Have a great day all

Well Val, although I am sorry this is happening to you too, I am glad that I am not the only one. They act like I am an anomoly up there. Barb is going to think I am nuts last week I call and tell her I need a fill and freaking out cause I can eat anything, and now I cant get liquids down..tomorrow I might eat a sub! WTF........:smile2:

All went well Rain, band is ok and Barb said I could handle a small fill so got .2cc fill and now have a total of 5.2cc. How are you feeling, and when is your due date? will they unfill you totally or just go according to how you feel.

Vicki,

Im due sometime at the end end July.

Yes they dont unfill it totally they go by how you feel. Like I said she took out two leaving me with 4cc and I can eat A LOT. Its kinda fun to eat a whole bagel and not get stuck and barf. I knew the bathroom at every restaurant because I had to use them during every meal out. I guess thats not so good but I didnt really realize that I was getting stuck with everything I thought it was just how it had to be. Im just trying to go slow with the weight gain this time around.

You know Rain, I am glad u said that cause I too know where the bathrooms are and I need to "relieve" myself, I don't throw up, just bend over and push it out sort of..:rolleyes2: anyway, I am glad I am not the only one cause I was wondering.. I can eat a lot too even with my fills, i must have a very elastic esophogus, cause it fits but uncomfortable at times. Keep us posted and post pix of your growing tummy..lol :)

      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.
