Went to get my second fill yesterday. Now have 7.5cc in a 12cc Realize band. This morning, half way thru eating 2 scrambled eggs, one piece of turkey bacon, and an english muffin with Peanut Butter, I finally found what full feels like and knew one more bite would bring trouble. I am estatic!!!

I have lost 46 lbs since Pre-op on Nov 3 and 58lbs since the seminar on Oct 8th when I became determined. I am averaging about 3.6 lbs a week loss.

I have also been able to do sub 10 minute miles for 3 miles on an eliptical, and do an entire 60 minute eliptical over 5.5 miles on level 10!

Also, I have moved from a 54 waist pants to 48, and have just bought my first 46 and 44 pants!!!

The band helped change my head at first, now it is also helping to change my stomach. I have set a goal to lose another 60 lbs by July!!!

Thanks all for the support, and the knowledge you all pass along. This site, more than any other, is my source of encouragement, knowledge, and help. Thanks to all the great posters here!!!

Congrats on everything!

Your post gives me hope - I'm 2.5 months out and have 7.5cc in a 14cc band which is not providing any restriction. My next fill is next week, and I really hope I can come back and report the same as you!

      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.
