Update and questions from ME



Recommended Posts

Hey all. Had my first fill today at 5wks out. It went well. No pain at all. I am extremely tickleish so that was a major problem for me more than anything. I did feel a bit nauseaous for about 45mins after then fine. Doc put me on soft foods for today then tommorow back on the regular stuff. Still cannot lift weights at the gym :) I want to tone, tone, tone.. gotta try to keep ahead of my body. I have lost approx 20-23lbs since 09/30 feeling good.

My questions are : the last 2 days I have been so incrediably tired. I doubt it is related to the anethseisa. I came home 2 days in a row from work and just passed out. I could of slept from 4pm thru the next morning if I let myself. Has anyone experienced this? Or am I just "tired" or should I be sucking it up and keep trucking thru the day? I forgot to mention this to my dr today.

2ndly: I found out I have a smaller band in. It holds up to 4cc of Fluid. I am curious how many people have the smaller band and the success/ and or failures with it. I would suppose it depends on how you use your tool.. just curious.

Thanks for any info in advanced

Hi-

Congrats on the loss! I have not had a fill or do not know the size of my band so can't answer that question. As for your exhaustion - you might want to check your Iron levels...you maybe anemic. Are you taking a Multivitamin w/iron?

      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.
