Fill today!! 7.2/10cc band



Recommended Posts

Wow so I had a pretty big fill today! I think it was my 5th fill?? I had a big fill in April and was restricted for the last 2 months but didn't seem to lose ANY WEIGHT?!!!!!!!!! I am so frustrated with the band! I know I know to keep going and try and just take one day at a time. I do try, I do start over every day if I mess up sometimes I think I am just addicted to food. I am addicted to the quantity, the taste, the game of I am not supposed to have this and all in all I get bored really easily with food!

I decided to go to the doctor and since my intake increased they decided to push my band to see what I can handle. I was at 6.6 and I was feeling pretty restricted with that amount but now it will be interesting to see how I feel with 7.2.

I had a cup of Tomato basil Soup with 4 crackers and a sugar free Jello. I told my husband that I still felt hungry but it was more head hunger than anything.

Hope every one is doing well! I know I haven't posted in awhile but just thought I would come back to it.

Thanks!:lol::lol:

I go on Wednesday and haven't lost more than a pound since my last doctor visit. I didn't get filled that time. I am at 6.1 cc's in a 10cc band. I want some more because I am at that tight in the morning can eat the cow in the evening place.:lol:

I know what you mean!! I can barely eat a cup in the morning but at night I can shovel in about 2 cups of food! Your doing really good though!! Keep it up! Do you have a problem with sweets at all?

Oddly enough, no. I was never a big candy eater, so don't really miss it. For example, I have a box of Whoppers in the fridge I bought in a moment of weakness and have eaten maybe 20 in the past 3 weeks.

My problem was ice cream. Now its not in the house. Otherwise that would be all I would be eating.

My crave now is watermelon. I ate a whole seedless one over 3 days. Not sure if that might be reason my weight loss slowed; you know, sugar content in the fruit...

Anyway, go for a fill in about 7 hours now, so its time to get to bed.:thumbup::thumbup:

Ok, did lose that 1 pound this month, bringing my total to 53. I am ok with that. The watermelon is fine, but its not Protein, is what I was told. I understand that too.

I got an additional .50cc's bringing my total to 6.6cc's in a 10cc band.

I feel it tight after this fill, liquid is going down slow, and I am back to the sipping I did right after surgery.

      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.
