Recommended Posts

and I can't lie that shyt hurt...lol... Of course I had to lay down a pillow was under my back, and he had me to lift my head a little while he felt for the port.. no problem finding it at all... I asked how much did the band have in it when the band was put in and he withdrew the Fluid and said that it was 3cc's in it when i was banded.. That's cool. He put 2-more cc's in it so i have a total of 5cc's in my band.. as he was putting the fill in the needle was still in the port and he had me to sit up and drink Water while he was filling it... I looked at him like dude are u crazy... I will punch u n the face...lol.. this shit hurts....lol.. No problem with drinking water at all, and I still don't have a problem drinking anything.. I would like to know from people that have been banded and have a 10cc band how much of a fill did it take for u to get to a good point where u were loosing weight and controling your hunger?

I got my first fill a week ago and honestly didn't think it hurt at all, it was just a little pinch. I think getting blood taken is a hell of a lot worse!! I had 3cc's in there and he added 2cc's at my fill. I didn't have to drink Water until after he was done. At this point I have no restriction at all and really have to watch everything I put in my mouth. I keep a food diary on dailyplate.com. I am praying my next fill in July gives me some restriction.

BTW I love reading your posts they are very funny!

      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.
