Finally some restriction



Recommended Posts

:grouphug:I had my 4th fill today. My doc is conservative. My first was 1.5cc, 2nd was .5cc, 3rd .5cc, today I asked for 1cc and boy has that made difference so far. I was thinking my band would never work. I have been stuck on the same 35 lbs since June/July 2008. So hopefully this will be a great new start. Because bofore this I still had a large appetite but now I am on liquids and feel full, full, full. But not too full. Everything goes down well. I am so happy I can't stand it.:):cool2::lol::tt2::mellow:

Laura, I just got my fill today--but boy can I tell a difference. It's different than it has ever been before. It even feels different. So hopefully this is the beginning of what it's supposed to be like. So now I have 3.5 cc in my 14cc band. Keep me updated on how ya'll are doing. Thanks for replying.

      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.
