Fill Follies & Sweet Spot Wonders



Recommended Posts

I went in for my 6th fill on Wednesday. Only got .5cc. That brought me to almost 6cc in a 10cc band. Anywho, I got home and, after driving an hour, could not swallow my own saliva. Sigh.....I had been down this road once before. I waited until today to see if it would get better and it did not. I promptly called my doc who had me drive the hour back for a .2cc unfill which did wonders. I can now swallow but still have fantastic restriction. I am wondering if this tiny fill means that I have finally found my first sweet spot.

Any ideas?

I have been down the too tight road for 4 months. I finally got a 1cc unfill yesterday. As my Dr. says this is not an exact science. If you find yourself on a diet of ice cream and hot chocolate its time for an adjustment. Don't wait as long as I did. I'm suprised I did'nt gain all my weight back.

I have not been gaining. Steady loss here. I was too tight for two months and just sort of stalled. This time it was about 26 hours. I am good now. When I am too tight, I take the healthy food I should be eating normal and blend it in the Bullet. I think that is what held off the weight gain.

I am almost to the 60 lb mark! I need to hit it soon!

      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.
