filled at last!



Recommended Posts

FINALLY! after 4 months of being empty, i have a fill! i am so happy. and boy am i being reschooled! lol, it sucks, but i love it too. chew chew chew, slow slow slow. how easily i got out of those habits.

my refill story wasnt pleasant to begin with. i went in last wed and got a 2.2 fill. i felt fine, the barium went thru under fluoro no problemo. then comes the next morning. made myself a cup of tea, took a sip. a SIP, especially since it was hot...no good. didnt pass. pb'ed the tea. and my spit. and my spit. and ANY liquid i tried drinking the entire day. i am not kidding when i tell you i was in the bathroom every 15 minutes or so just to pb my spit. it was horrible. so i got another appt w/ the fill doc, went back the next afternoon and had 1.0 taken out. i now sit at 1.2 and feel great. and you know what? i have great restriction! i already feel better then i have in weeks/months. i know some of that is in my head, but even so, at least i feel better. lol. i about died when i got on the scale at the doctor's and it read that i had lost 12 pounds in the 2 days! yes, 12 lbs. but it was not good to do it that way. i know it was because i had gotten dehydrated.

so now i am drinking my fluids and eating mushies and feeling fine! back on the wagon am i.

      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.
