My dilema



Recommended Posts

Since I had my surgery I have lost 80 pds. At the most, I may have another 5-8 lbs to lose. Most say I am ok the way I am. I had three fills so far.

I am now starting to get hungry again, Is it too late to go in for another fill or should I just try to adjust. I am really afraid of putting the weight back on.

No point in going hungry. You probably just need a tiny tweak. It happens to everyone over time. Go get a tiny tweak to take away that hunger. USE the tool you paid for!

You probably do need a slight fill from what Im hearing around hear and from my Dr. When you have lost most of your weight you have lost fat around the stomach also which means that the band wont be as tight. Its never to late to get a fill. My Dr. said I could have a fill or unfill when ever as long as they are 2 weeks apart. Great job with the wieght loss and I hope I can use my tool as well as you have. :laugh:

I did go in for another fill. FIrst they took an x-ray, gave me .5 cc, took another x ray, gave me another .5 cc. Hopefully this helps. They feel I only need to loose another 5-10 pounds max.

When was the last time a Dr told you that. Kind of nice for a change.

      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.
