OK first let me start with saying I had a fill yesterday. and no i dont have any special diet after a fill. I have not had restrictions. before this fill except in the morning time. So its been along week with working interviews, packing, and moving. So I got my kids donuts for a quick Breakfast from the local donut shop. well temptation got the best of me and I ate one later on in the afternoon. OMG how it hurt. I had never had anything come back up or been in this pain before... It felt like i swallowed a watermelon in the middle of my chest and then it came up. It was very quick but I dont every want to do that again.. I am gonna take it this fill must have did the trick.

Also I did not see my DR but the nurse pract.. instead and so I asked her why my Dr does not tell me how much of a fill I got and she started to tell me it did not matter and I stopped her and told her before she could finish and told her "ITs my right to know and this is my body and I want to know everything that goes on or in it." So she told me my 10 cc band was half full. I am good with that. but I really think the only reason she finally told me was because when she walked in I had scrubs on and she asked what I did. Anyways hopefully we will be finished moving this weekend and I can get thing back on track. when I told her i had not exercised this week she acted as if i had not exercised the whole time. It didnt help that I did not lose anything these last three weeks either.

I had a fill on Tuesday my 2nd one. I have 3cc in 10 cc band. And last night I was eating a small piece of pizza which I have also eaten once in a while in the last 10 weeks and had no trouble. I too got stuck and it was heck for about an hour. Bad thing was my 3 year old Grandbaby was here and I did not want her to know what was going on. So I had to pretend everything was fine till I finally threw it up and all was well.

Are you a nurse? My daughter in law is a nurse and when she delivered her babies she did not tell the hospital she was a nurse because she says they make you do everything yourself then. You had a right to know anything and everything they do to you or put in you at the Dr's office. The nurse was rude. Hang in there it will get better. Your weight is nothing to be ashamed of if you had a couple of weeks without losing, your body was probably adjusting.

My doc always has us on full liquids for 24 hours after a fill, and mushies for a day after that (sometimes your esoph. can get irritated or swollen after a fill)

      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.
