Know what I'm doing is dangerous



Recommended Posts

I've posted my tread under band complication, but I think this should have been the link. Please read it. I'm in big trouble, I've started to do my own fills and defills.

Band-aided,

I am so sorry you are struggling but please draw the line and don't do this again. It is not healthy what you are doing. Trust me... I totally get why you do this fill and unfill yourself. At the moment I would give anything for an unfill as I am in terrible pain from acid reflux. But this just isn't the way the band is supposed to work. Please go talk to a counselor and make a vow to yourself not to do anymore filling or unfilling. I'm just sure that this is bad for your health!

Grace

I'm a family practice PA and have no doubt I could have done my own....but that would have been stupid.....

      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.
