Recommended Posts

Froggi- Congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome!

Elizabeth- I know what you mean about the ice cream! I picked up some in the store yesterday, carried it around for awhile and then put it back. :Dancing_sorry: It was so hard!!!

Dr. Kaplan thinks I might have a slow leak in my port. I talked with Jeannie today and I'm scheduled for Monday to have my fill amount rechecked/added/etc. My restriction is getting less and less everyday. I'll let you all know what happens.

I think I figured out my problem with wanting sweets. Even though I dont have periods anymore, I think I have pms lol.. what do you all do for it?? I havent had it for a LONG time. But I decided because I could cry so easily, I want nothing but sweets right now and just have the munchies.. So what do you do for it now with the band?? Man of course Im going through all this right before I go for a fill lol, I hope I dont get bloated. lol

Oh Kyla I sure hope you dont have a leak. If you do, would you have to go through the whole surgery again? Ive suddenly lost my restriction. One day I couldnt eat, now I can eat anything and EVERYTHING. I can even eat bread again and I havent been able to eat bread for a couple months. I hope that doesnt mean anything.. I sure hope it is all ok with you Kyla. I guess I will see you Monday. I will be there at 12:15

Froggi, you should stick around after your appointment and we can all meet

My appointment's at 12:30, so I'll probably miss you, Froggi. :Dancing_sorry: But, I'm sure I'll see you, Elizabeth!

Jeannie said that if my port is leaking that they will just replace the port in Same Day surgery. They won't touch my band. I hope that's not the case!

Yep Im sure I will see you Kyla.. If that is the case with your port, that isnt as bad as the band leaking. I know someone who has already had to have her port revised. I think she is the first and only one so far. Hers flipped over though and they couldnt get it to flip back. Support group is next monday right?? the 24th? Thats the first day of finals, that gonna be a fun day lol.:Dancing_sorry:

I've already met Kyla though...she's the only one lol Due to her coming here to my house to bring me Protein powder :Dancing_sorry:

The only way i can stand either the vanilla or chocolate is to mix it with about 3 handfuls of small ice cubes...it makes it tolerable. Lol

      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.
