you are doing so fantastic. I'm completely stuck at the present weight. I had to go for an unfil so I don't have restriction. I'm losing like a snail. But I'm losing. I go back for a fill in a little over a week so maybe i'll finally get back to real losing. I'm so proud of you. Especially with all the traveling and family stuff. keep it up girl!!!!

big hugs!

Thanks Doll! I have been working hard. And I have got a lot of restriction too, to keep me in line, lol. Why did you get unfilled? Is everything okay? And I say, as long as you are losing, its all good. Be sure to get your band filled back up. It really is the key to its power. Take care of you!

I was having issues with pain and not being able to keep things down. They unfilled me to let it calm down. I should get filled next visit but I know he won't give me a whole lot since he's worried that I'll be back like I was before. I'm trying to focus on the positives and just be glad I have a lot more control over food than what I used to. I don't think about it all the time. I've definitely made lifestyle changes. I don't even know what it's like to have the amount of food I used to eat.

I am so very happy you are doing so great. You look so happy in your pictures. It will be so nice for you to be able to enjoy your son even more. I'll try to keep in touch more. Take care.

Well I am glad for safety's sake you did what you did. And you will get back to where you need to be on your fills. And yes, control over eating is an AMAZING POSITIVE! So you are already doing great!

I have been struggling with a mucous problem for the last 6 weeks. With the crazy weather and traveling, its no wonder. This has given me much grief on keeping some things down as well. But, I just recently got some new medicine for it, and had my fluoroscope done with my Doc. Everything is good. Says I will probably be at this volume for awhile since I am in the zone. Keep your head up girl. Keep exercising. And one fill at a time you will be where you need to be. BIG HUGS!!! And I know I have been bad too about keeping in touch : ( I will try to be better too. Take care:smile:

      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.
