Cant wait until my first fill



Recommended Posts

Ok Im stuck in limbo, with 311lbs at this point, and have been for a week. Although, I havent had the energy as I should to go to the gym every day, but I do make it to the gym at least 3 times a week. I dont do much when I go, maybe a mile on the treadmill. But, thats about it. My diet, is mixed with liquids, and for dinner, a healthy, mushy. But, I do notice, Im not getting as full as I once did about a week ago, Im 2 weeks and a day post op. And today I see the doc. I wonder if I can convince him to do my first fill today. LOL. I doubt that. Im hoping it wont be that bad cause right at the port area, I cant feel a thing. Its like my nerves were severed or something. Anyway, I just had to vent, I want to lose more. UGGH. I guess it will happen in time. :thumbup:

You have done great with your weight loss! I know it seems to go much slower down the scales than it did going up, but it does go down. I always say to myself you have lost more than 50 pounds because in the time you had your LB surgery you would have GAINED. I was gaining about 5-7 pounds a year!! Anyway, keep your thinking and willpower strong and look for the day when you will be at your goal! I know it will be worth it for us!!

You lost 22 pounds is a month or so?...that is fantastic! You don't want to interfere with healing and have slippage by getting a fill too soon. Many people gain weight at this stage so don't get too frustrated, you are doing great. :sad_smile:

Thanks guys! I just find myself, more hungry than normal. Uggh. Just like I was before the band. I mean, I do have a limit, but since the healing process is taking on, My tummy wants food. LOL. And I chew and chew, and still, Im trying to look for the part where I get full. Its not there anymore, it was about a week ago. Just anticipating the day it happens!!! Yay!

      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.
