WHOO HOO! I'm feeling it now on my 3rd fill!



Recommended Posts

I was beginning to wonder WHEN I would feel restriction again like I did right after surgery. I got it now with my 3rd fill last week!! I think I have 5 or 6 cc's in my band. My "stuck" scale is finally working again! I saw a poll about this somewhere here, and felt better when I read it a few weeks ago. And it turned out to be true!

This forum is the BEST source of information, so keep reading (and searching) and you'll find lots of things to help you on this journey!:(

I was banded May22 I have lost 49 lbs. I'm having trouble with what the Dr is calling mucus in my pouch. Have you had and experience with that. If I don't drink something hot before I eat, everything comes up with all this mucus (snot). I wonder if I could take an allergy pill to dry it up. I'm going to ask at the next Dr visit. I have also had 3 fills and other than the mucus I feel great.

I have no clue what would cause that. Where would it come from? Is your stomach producing it? Try a search with a couple of key words on this site.

The only issue I have, is when I eat too fast or a little too much, my saliva starts gushing, my eyes start watering and my mouth fills with slimy spit. I think its what bandsters call "sliming" and I can't swallow it, I have to spit it out. If its really bad, I throw up. This is all normal from what I've learned here.

      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.
