By the time you read this hopefully you will have already seen your doctor and can drink Water.

As a follow up to my last post: I went in today and got an unfill. Boy am I relieved. He took it all out since I couldn't drink anything either and was vomiting acid every couple hours. He said I should heal for two weeks then get a fill again. He doesn't seem concerned about a slip. My body had gone without Water for two days so it was not used to it anymore. It took me a while to get used to hydration. I won't take liquids for granted anymore....

I am sorry that they couldn't find your port. My doctor always has problems finding mind and it sucks. I always leave with a huge bruise larger than my fist. But it seems very negligent for the other doctor to just poke you without even feeling around to see if it was the correct place.

Good Luck!

This line sort of disturbs me: "I am sore all over and feeling weak but the good news is my new total weight loss is 71lbs!"

I don't see how this is good news that you have lost weight due to starving and being dehydrated. It reminds me of the post somebody made that they only ate two tablespoons of food all day and were excited and somebody congratulated them.

It's not anything to Celebrate. Starving. Throwing up all the time, etc. That's not what the band is for. Sorry.

      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.
