I am 15 months post REALIZE band. I lost 65 lbs. with a lot more to go. I have platued for 4-5 months now. I am at 8.6cc in band. I have a 14cc band and do not feel full. They tried to put in 9cc last fill and I refluxed so they had to remove .4cc.

I do not have a feeling of fullness until about 1 hour after I eat. Has anyone else had to have a lot of fill before finding sweet spot???? :Dancing_biggrin:

I am at a stand still also. Actually I have been content with my weight loss so far. I feel better and am buying smaller clothes. I am even smaller than when I got married so I am so happy about getting my band, it was the best thing I ever did. Well now I am not feeling so fine about standing still and need to get my brain back on board. I have not excercised once, I keep saying I need to and I do but I have lost neerly 50 pounds without taking a walk! Anywhoo I know I will jumpstart again if I break a sweat and cut out my sweets. Maybe if this thread keeps going and we post often, get to know each other a bit and share what we eat it will help us all? So far this morning I have had a cup of coffee and I will plan on a shake for Breakfast. My egg shake has 50g Protein and 220 cal.

      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.
