Help, Jachut, are you out there?

Mimi,

So sorry about your bad news. I sure hope things right themselves for you. I've read where a lot of times, even if there is a slip, an unfill and liquid diet can correct it. Do they have you on liquids now?

I was thinking of you yesterday. I had to go to my doc and have part of my last fill removed. Saturday when I tried to take my medicine the first pill got stuck and came back up. Then I tried to eat lunch and of course the first bite got stuck and came back up. By Sat night I couldn't even drink water! It was awful. I was almost ready to try the emergency room, but didn't trust those docs not to mess up my band. I decided to rest it, like you did, and Sunday morning I managed get some hot coffee down and chicken broth and NOTHING ELSE so I decided to see my doc on Monday. They took .2cc out of the .3cc he put in Fri the 31st. I'm feeling MUCH better now.

So they have me on 3 days liquids, 3 days of mushies and then solid food. I'll be curious to see what happens on the scales. According to their scales I've lost 2 pounds since the 31st when I was there last. Hard to believe since I had only chicken broth for 2 days! WTH?

Keep us posted on how you are feeling and I hope for a speedy recovery.

      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.
