Jan 08 bandster fill poll



Recommended Posts

ok.. I got my second fill today.. first one was April 5-- input 1.3, then today, he gave me 2.3 I had lost 1cc somewhere. The doc asked me if I had been sweating alot? yep, it's Texas, everyone sweats in Texas!!!! har

So, I'm sitting here with 2.3 in 4cc band.. I cant belch to good right now.. drinking fluids for 48 hrs. We'll see..

He let me hear via stethoscope, my Water passing thru, he counted and said he had cut my intake from 6 to 12 as it passes into the lower stomach. I don't know how big my pouch is. I do know that, I was hungry all the time.. But I guess so, I only had .3 and that was just making chicken uncomfy to pass if it was too dry..

So, I'm ready to see what this fill will bring. Sounds like everyone is doing ok.. Whoever it was that mentioned all the food, that does sounds like a lot to me, even with the small fill left I had, I can't eat a hamburger.. but I can eat the soft food, like there is no tomorrow!!!

NINJA>>>>>>> on your level of restriction- do you hurt when the food does go thru? I've got 2.3 in a 4cc band and pressure even with Water. hmmm Maybe to tight? with the restriction are you full and then it passes, do you feel it passing?

ugh... I need my sweet spot, but I think I'm too tight, just got more last friday.. its only been 48 hrs.. but dang the pressure..

      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.
