3 Months Out and 3 Fills..... Update



Recommended Posts

Hi. I had my surgery 3 months ago (September 19th) and I feel great. I lost 16 pounds on my pre-op diet and I've lost 36 pounds since my surgery. I flew to Houston yesterday for my third fill. Didn't feel much restriction with the first two, but this one feels different. I am on liquids today, but I am not feeling hungry at all - didn't have this feeling with the first two. I am hoping I am getting closer to the place that is right for me. I have much more energy, wearing smaller clothes, and feel so much happier and healthier. Getting the band was the best thing I've ever done for myself. If you are reading this, I hope you are happy, healthy, and loving your band too (if you have one... if not - I think you're gonna love yours too). Happy Holidays!!!! Becky :biggrin:

Becky I'm so glad to see this post! I have been slowly gaining back, not losing like you (you are really rocking!) but was happy that this last time I'd only gained 1/2 pound in the last 6 weeks! Now with my 3rd fill (just 4.5 cc's in a 14 cc band) I feel much like you do...just not hungry. It is amazing and wonderful!

I'm so pleased to read how well you're doing! :laugh:

      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?

      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.
