Recommended Posts

wohooo!!! finally went and had my 3 mth check up and they finally gave me a fill, easy peasy, the doc had just slight prob with port cause it moved but he got it the second time no problemo. He put in 3.5 milliters, which is 3.5 CC's (i checked the conversion LOL) I have a Large 14 band, its a big fill for my first time but i seem to be having no problemo's. The doc did comment though that he thought my bad was to big?? Well heck not like i got to pick it out LOL!! So happy to have a fill, can't wait till tomorrow to try it out and see how i really feel. Tonight is just liquids tomorrow i eat regualrly. :cry_smile:

Hello, I go for my first fill Oct 3rd and Tuesday was 7 weeks since my band. Can I ask this question? I feel like I am hungry more then I was even last week. I eating a little more then I should, did anyone do this before fill. I am trying hard to control my feeling to want to eat more then I should. My doctor is on vacation and I would have been filled this week, but I have to wait until next week. I am dying here I just want the restriction so I don't feel this way. I went to a cousins dinner Saturday night and I just have been eating more then I normally do....only 1 cup 1/2 with each meal and a snack...mostly veggies and chicken, meat but I have had tastes of pie, brownie etc and I don't eat that stuff. Has anyone else eaten, cheated before first fill? Do you feel better after the fill?

      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.
