no difference



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Had my first fill on Thursday. I thought, OK, now things are going to start moving along. Nope, no difference.

The doc said "see ya in a month." As soon as the office is open I am calling in to try to get back in. How soon will they do another fill? Will Thursdays fill magically "kick in" or do I need another one.

I know it is a marathon, not a sprint, but I just want to get off the starting line.

SAD.

I had my first fill this past Tuesday...(I was given 1 cc in a 10 cc band.) My doc said to come back in 6 weeks for another fill. I did feel some restriction for the first day or so. I am going to ride it out for another week or so to see what happens with my restriction before I call the doctor's office to get in sooner than 6 weeks. Good luck to you.

I am told to wait a week to reschedule because many people do have a delayed reaction to their fills.

I completely understand what you are going through. I feel like a failure. I haven't lost any weight since my surgery July 14th. I CAN'T WAIT to get this party started and start losing.

My first fill was 4 cc's.....felt nothing at all. My 2nd fill was last Wednesday and I got another 3 cc's. And I only feel a little restriction.

Good luck & remember you are not alone. Please keep us updated how you are doing.

Jane

      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.
