Hi Kelly,

I am so glad you are feeling better. I went for an unfill myself today. I only PB'd twice in a 4 week period, but it was getting hard to get in my Water and I couldn't even think of really drinking or eating before 11am.

My band is acting a bit weird... first fill 1.3, second fill 2.0 -- no problems. Then I went to 2.4 had major problems, but only after 3 weeks. Went back to 1.5 and was fine, I would even say too loose for 3 weeks... then extremely tight again. It just seemed to keep getting worse, so now I am back to 1.3. The doctor is ordering an upper GI... so we will see.

I sure hope you are successful with solids and I am glad your band looks healthy.

Take Care,

Sasssy, it's good to see you have listened to your body. As Martha would say,"that's a good thing". I'm proud of you girl!

sassay,

Did your band slip? I saw you were rebanded.

It is strange that you have those symptoms the 2nd time around because my husband has those too. He was banded 2003 rebanded 2004. He had an adjustment it took him a long time to get use to that one, he tried a second one that was just barely more than the first (according to the doctor who said he wanted to go really slow) and he couldn't handle it at all. He had to go back down in his fill to where he was. I wonder if this is a normal problem with rebanding

      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.
