Hi Huggie Bear and all my fellow June bandsters! I had my first fill today and it was a snap! Not sure what I expected but it was painless and quick - my Dr. uses floroscope - you lay on the table - he tilts is until you are sort of standing and then gives a shot to numb the area - he puts in the saline - you take a big sip of what I guess is barium - he watches to see if it goes down and voila! DONE - Painless. I go to see him a month - unless I think the fill is not enough. So all is well!

I go for my first fill on 7/21. I am ready because I seem to be hungry now a lot more than I was a few weeks ago. I think I might have even gained a few pounds back. I am starting to get discouraged. The fill can't come soon enough!!

I can't believe what I've done today. I get my first fill on Monday. I've been hungry a lot lately and finding out I can eat about anything. Well........I went into this 'last supper before my fill mode'. How stupid is that? My sisters called and asked if I wanted to meet them for lunch, we went to this mom and pop place that has awesome fried chicken so I got that. On the bright side I do have some restriction and could only eat one thigh about about 4 french fries, and I gave my Texas toast and gravy away. then I had to stop at Walmart for something for my new bike. right at the checkout were snack size bags of Fritos, my number one red light food, so I bought one, ate the whole thing then I read the label and that little bag was considered 4 servings!!!! OMG!! That's 600 calories, mind you I've been averaging 700-800. I'm over 1000 for the day. Then tonight I got more chicken this time nuggets from Chik Fil A. Just goes to prove, that the body is willing but the mind is weak! I just entered everything into my daily plate and it's not that horrible considering what I used to do, but is 1400 calories for the day. This stops tonight, tomorrow I will be a good little bander! I wish those dang Fritos didn't go down so easy! Glad I rode my bike this morning and burned some of those calories.

I figured out part of my problem today wasn't really hunger, but was more head hunger. DH is always home on weekends, he and my son went fishing, my daughter had to work and I found myself all alone and bored on a Saturday which are normally busy days. My sisters called and we did lunch and I had this "I deserve a treat' mentality. Then just munched all day long on bad stuff. So think it was more in my head than actual physical hunger, but everything I ate went straight down. I feel full fast, but it doesn't last long. I will be better tomorrow now that I know what it is.

Well had my fill friday....how easy was that!!!!!

He put 2.5cc in and after, while having a drink I did feel a little restriction but not sure now.

Yesterday I has a Protein Shake, one weetabix in a LOT of milk so it'd go really mushy, A little cottage cheese with tinned sardines then later a yogurt.

So not many cals and I did feelt full after the fish and cheese. Time will tell eh!!

Cost of my holiday then the doctors I won't get another fill until mid september.....2 whole months!!!

I'm scheduled for July 28th. I'm very excited and a lot nervous about my first fill. I'm doing well...still losing despite a stall for 2 weeks. I think I'm going to be one of those people who loses 8-10lbs really quickly and then nothing for a couple of weeks. It's rather discouraging.

If I'm honest, I'm generally not very hungry. Most of the times, if I'm feeling hungry after eating, it's head hunger. I've had my cheats too...one time a fish fillet and a hushpuppie from Long John Silvers and a couple of times I've had buttered popcorn at the movies. The majority of the time I do okay though, but it's a struggle.

Long2bthin, Once in a while we all fall down. Today my youngest daughter came to visit for a week. So to do something fun, we threw together some food and went to the park. We grilled hamburgers. We ate baked Beans. We ate cantalope. Nothing too bad, so far. I could only eat half the hamburger and a little bit of beans. But.....since we had hot coals, we had to roast marshmallows, right? and had to have chocolate to put on the graham crackers to make s'mores, right??? ugghhh! I did eat one, and it was delicious! But only one and I did feel sorta sick afterwards. Too bad I didnt get deathly ill and throw up or something! That would have taught me a lesson. But, tomorrow is another day. I promise to be better. Really.:unsure:

Happy Sunday Everyone:

I have been kinda busy lately, I miss you guys! I am doing ok, but get another fill on Friday 18th. I have realized that I have to really eat slow and not drink and I can feel the band working. I also have to do as they say and eat the Protein first. If you drink you wash the food through the pouch too fast.:(

I have also walked! I have done about a mile each day and it takes me about 20 minutes. I have to add the extra 10 minutes but I am really moving. Last night I did 1.5 miles with my daughter. She is a runner so I know I really slowed her down, but she keep me moving:sneaky:

I haven't been back on my bike for a few days. :ohmy:I hope to get back on the bike this week. It has been really stormy here and I don't want to get caught in a storm on a bike! Maybe the weather will get better, but I can't complain, cause we really needed the rain!:unsure:

Take care and have a great week! :biggrin2:

Strikeuptheband: Can you tell much difference since you got the second fill?

Cathy, no, not really. Read up a few posts and you will see how i pigged out today. I did lose 1 lb when I went in for the 2nd fill. She gave me 1 more cc, which now totals 4cc. some meals I can feel some restriction a bit and I only know thats what it is when I drink a sip of cold Water (and I know I shouldnt be doing that at meals...). I felt the cold water back up (not enough to throw up but it was just sitting there and slowly I felt it go back down). I haven't had any problems with any food yet. I wanted to get 2ccs, thought that would make a difference but the nurse didnt want to go too fast because I might have been too tight and no way to fix it over the weekend. I go back on the 31st for the 3rd fill and maybe then I will be at the right fit. Gotta get back on the bandwagon now, but dang that s'more was good.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
