Jazzy Junes First Fill Line up



Recommended Posts

Jules, it's time to give your nutritionist a call. We paid for it, might as well get help when we need it. Maybe they'll have a day by day plan that is easy to follow. If you had a hiatal hernia repaired, you might have plenty of internal swelling still that retains Fluid.

I came home 7+ (I didn't weigh for 2 days) pounds heavier. It was from IV fluids and general swelling. I've only lost 4 from surgery day. Dr Ortiz said walking is okay, but not to hit the gym until after three weeks are over. We're all supposed to let our ab muscles heal from being cut and the port being stitched into it.

Long2b...When you're in the 14 range, you won't even think twice about a tankini. They don't ride up. It's a beautiful thing :biggrin2:

Add me to the list of people are READY for a fill. Unfortunately, my Dr. is very conservative. I was banded on 6/5 and won't have my first fill until 7/23! I am walking the treadmill everyday; have not been cleared for anything else yet. But trying to keep on a losing track so I don't get depressed. I really neeed the fill; it's all will power at this point.

It's really good to hear from all of you and to know I am not alone. Everyone is in my thoughts - when it's tough going, I think about everyone who is going throught the same struggle!

My next follow up is July 10th and I am pretty sure I'm getting my first fill. I would hope so considering I am def. hungry a lot more and think I can eat more than I should (between 3/4c and 1+c) per meal. I'm def. ready to crank this puppy up a bit!

My doctor waits 8 weeks to do a fill. My appetite is slowly returning, but I have to remember not to fall into the same traps that I used to...have to remember that this is a mental thing for me as well.

My 1st fill date is August 7th.

I changed our smiley faces since most of us are agreeing that the hunger is coming back and a thumbs up for that is just NOT approptiate :)

I was banded June 4th and go for my first fill on July 15th. I don't really feel like I need a fill yet but maybe that will change between now and then.

      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.
