Did you ever find out about the fills?

I went in for my first fill and didn't get it because I was losing without it. Jeannie says it is billed like a visit, Lindsey told me the first 3-4 were included in the cost. I guess Lindsey was wrong. Doesn't do me any good to argue about it, I suppose. I have to have it, so I'm going to have to pay I guess. I go next Monday for one.

Thanks. :thumbup: I'm going to insist on a fill this time. When I was on liquids and mushies I had no appetite because everything just kinda got gross after a while. Now that I'm back on regular food, I'm hungry!!!:cool2:

Hi everyone. I was just thinking, since we're all right here in the Parkersburg area, we should plan a get together! It would be fun to get to know everyone and compare stories about what we're going through. What do you think? :)

We should do that sometime...lol but I'd like to be banded first so I feel more part of the group lol

By the way I was down another 2.5 lbs Friday. :)

A get together sounds fun! Even though I'm months away from surgery it'd be great motivation to see all you skinny, healthy people! So how do we find people? Any idea?

p.s. Amazing revelation from my food diary....know how many timbits are a serving? ONE! Holy cow! They're 34 calories a piece...I was shocked!

Hi guys! Just checking in here to get support. Hubby and I have started our 6-month diet, working with Lindsey. Wow...once you write things down it's pretty amazing how many calories there are in food. I found out that one timbit is a serving...I used to eat maybe 20 at a time! I'm lucky, the people I work with are super supportive! They're writing down their food too and almost everyone is using a pedometer and encouraging everyone to walk more.

I haven't done stellar the last 3 days. Haven't written down a thing. I hope I don't get flogged to bad! My 20 month old has strep throat and has just felt horrible. Fevered, crying, needy. I've eaten, but I honestly can't tell you what. She's finally on the mend and I'll be better!

I wish other people who see Dr. Kaplan would post here! We could form our own little community.

Jenn

      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.
