Congratulations! You and I were exact same weight on surgery date so I am so encouraged by your post! I was just banded on 7/22 and do not get my first fill until 8/25 and then have to wait 6 weeks after that for another fill. I have only lost 7 pounds since surgery date and have been feeling a little discouraged since I have been eating soooo much less food than I used to and have stuck to the diet plan, and have been drinking lots of Water. I was starting to wonder how long it will take for me to really start losing weight. After reading your post, I have hope! I am excited about the prospect of reaching Onederland and then on to my final goal weight! I hope that after my first couple of fills, the weight will start coming off more quickly. I am so excited for you and glad to hear you are doing so well! Thanks for your encouraging post and keep up the good work! :)

      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.
