Recommended Posts

Hi Huggie Bear!

I was reading my posts and saw that you were going to add someone to the "1st Fill" list. I am having my first fill on August 29th. I had my surgery on June 17th, and didn't want to wait quite so long but it was the only time slot I could get. If there is a list somewhere, would you please add me to it? Thanks, Kerry

Hi Kerry,

See the thread titled Jazzy June First Fill Line up and folks are posting about their fills like we did surgeries. That seems like a long time to wait. Good luck!

Hi all I am from Beautiful British Columbia Canada. It is an amazing part of Canada. I live in a small town and we have a ton of outdoor fun. My husband of 10 years is in the logging business, we have 2 daughters Mackenzie (11) and Saige (3 almost 4) and a dog of 15 years Whisky. We have a ski hill and I manage the food and beverage department. I have 4 months a year off which is summer. Our winters are long 6 months and can be cold. I was banded June 17 with my friend by Dr. Rummbraut in Mexico and he was amazing!!! I feel good but am getting hungry now.

I am excited for this journey and can't wait till the first fill!!!!

Nice to meet you all and here your introduction to the June o8 bandsters

Hi There1

I to was banded in Mexico by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana on June 17th. I believe most all of the other patients that had surgery along with me were from Canada. I myself, am from a small town in Oregon, USA. I to can relate to the hunger starting to creep up, and it is VERY scary! I will be having my first fill on August 29th which seems like a year away! It was the only schedule the Dr. could fit me in. I have to travel 100 miles to Portland, OR for my fill.

All of the folks I met from BC were the kindest ever and I still keep in contact with one family who were fellow bandster's on that glorious day. I must say I have had an amazing recovery thus far and wouldn't change a thing about the whole experience.

Good Luck to you! Kerry

      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.
