too bad, but also good! yay for fills! I could tell that I needed my 2nd before because my 1st one didn't make any difference at all. But now I'm wondering how I can tell when I need another one. I am gradually being able to eat more and more...I don't want to gain weight or wait too long on a plateau...how do I decide?

Yes I will be there.

My doctor's protocol: As long as I'm losing betw/ 1-2 a wk, I'm good and don't need a fill.

Well he didn't give me a fill. My weight was exactly the same as it was the last time I saw him. It was good that I didn't gain anything but I didn't loose anything either. I need to cut out the carbs bread, ice cream, chips etc. and I need to exercise. Walking is good, I just need to do it. I was down when I left his office but I have to go through that first. Now I'm ok and will get back on track.

you can do it, you are stronger than me, that's for sure

it's hard when you are the same weight for awhile, I have definitely been there, and I did get really down, but it turned around for me, and it will for you, too

Christine you know I will go. I recommend my doctor and facility to absolutely everyone. They are awesome and have their stuff together. I'm ready, call connie because you can have someone to sit in on your consult. My sister went with me the first time and then my buddy Linda went after that.

I enjoyed myself and I would not say the service was horrible, it just could have been better. For you guys that already left, the waitress came out and told me that the check was short $10. I told her I put my in and stepped out front. I waited for the manager to come out but he didn't. She thought she was going to get the full tip. NOOOO. Maybe she will make herself available to the customers during the meal and not just at the end.

I won't say anynames but C and L what did you guys do to Carrie? She should have taken pictures of your guys acting up in the store.

I see we are going to have a MD LBT Social Group seperate from the MD LBT Support Meetings.

      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.
