First fill.. 1cc..awesome



Recommended Posts

Well today was my first fill. I was scared at first but everything went ok. Had no problems at all. I only got 1cc but I felt it right away. Dr. said that I'll get a total of 4 cc and I should be good. He said that I should have no problem hitting my goal as long as stay focused on my food intake and increase my exercise to 30 minutes 3x a week. I was walking 15 minutes a day on the treadmill already I thought I was doing good since I didn't do anything at all before. Come to find out per Dr. that I would have to increase to the be able to make a difference. Ok he's the Dr. I'm excited the nurse said she could see the difference in my looks. She even pulled out the "before pics" from my folder and was pointing out my face , my tummy, my thigh, how she could tell where I've lost.. the before pics were taken 1 week before my surgery.

I'm so happy I've officially have dropped from a size 22 to a size 16 in a minimum of 2 months:thumbup:. YAY me!!

I want to be at a size 12 hopefully by June for my Disney vacation so till then I'll eat right and lots of exercising!:tea:

Hey Ruby..

I'm so glad I have a partner in crime with getting only 1cc for the first fill!! i was kind of disappointed because 1cc is sooo tiny. Since my fill on Tuesday, I noticed a little bit of restriction. Not too much, but enough to be full after a fairly small amount of food.:lol: My doc said he will probably look at doing 3cc's my next fill which is April 2nd. He also reiterated that I'm doing extremely well with my weight loss and gave me lots of encourgement...especially in the exercise department!! That always feels good. Congratulations on everything you have accomplished so far. I bet you will be in those size 12's BEFORE you Disney vaction!!

Right on, sister!!:)

      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.
