and got me a fill...

Ok I'm corny and old.

But I got a fill today! 3.5 hr drive each way and 20 min appointment. LOL

She put 3cc in my 10cc band. She said I should notice a difference.

I'm about to die of hunger, I really should have eaten before I went in. All I've had today is Protein Water. LOL. Tomorrow puree and then one day of soft, and then I get to put this thing to the test!

Today WOULD have been my first day on regular diet, but instead I got the fill. So I pushed it back 3 more days.

I'm ready to do some chewing already! :thumbup:

Oh wow, you haven't been able to eat "real" food yet? Ouch! No wonder you're hungry! Well at least it's right around the corner. My dr told me to definitely do Clear liquids for the rest of today. He said I could add Protein shakes tomorrow and then soft foods on Thursday before going back to my regular diet on Friday. That's good because we are going out of town on Friday. I'm taking my kids down to their Dad's for his annual St. Patrick's Day party and I plan on having me some corned beef and cabbage!!! (No Irish soda bread though). It will be interesting to see how my band handles food again. I am definitely still feeling a little hungry but not bad. It's okay as long as I keep drinking.

Congratulations on your fill!

I was on the last day of the "mushy" diet, which I will say my dr is pretty generous with what counts as mushy. I want some nuts, though. Isn't that odd? Not like I went around eating nuts all the time. LOL

Wow, that sounds like a big fill....I usually read how people get 1cc at a time. I bet you feel a difference right away.

My doctor has us do liquids for a few days after the fill. I don't get mine until the second week of April! That seems like FOREVER!

Angie: Funny, I was just saying today, wonder when I can eat nuts? I used to love my 12 almonds a day (1 oz) and really miss them. We may have had surgery the same day, but my fill isn't until next monday.

Gratz Angie!

I'm so nervous about my first fill. I wonder if it will hurt and my doctor starts off REALLY slow, so I doubt I'll feel any restriction until 3 fills at least.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
