Filled today!!!



Recommended Posts

So I had my first fill today. 2.5cc. He had some trouble finding my port. He said it was tipped, and he had to angle the syringe twords my feet abit to get the right angle. He told me I should remeber this in case someone who isn't him need to adjust my band. He said this is not a bad thing, and does not mean there is a problem, it's just how I healed.

I am officially down 20 pounds since my surgery weight and I have dropped 1 pants size. He was pleased with that. I would like it to be more, but I know I didn't get this way overnight, and I can't fix it overnight.

So I guess I keep plugging along until my next fill in 6weeks.

      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.
