I apologize to those in bandster hell...but I actually forgot to eat today...It is 11:30 and not until I logged on here did it occur to me that I had not eaten....

I just had a fill Thursday, so I am tight and full. Yipee

About 6ccs. She said something about 5.5 and then gave me a 1/2cc fill, so I am not sure if I went in with 5.5 or left w/ 5.5. I always forget to ask. I think my band is 12 cc total.

I am quite tight and have not gotten "stuck" but have brought up some stuff. I have to re-adjust my eye-to band ratio again after the fill on Thursday for a while. I have lost 3 pounds since Thursday! It will level out after I get used to the fill.

What is eye-to-band ratio? How much you want to eat vs how much you can?

Congrats! It is a wonderful feeling to finally reach proper restriction, isn't it? I went through 3 months of misery, depression, feeling like a failure, gaining and losing the same three pounds over and over.

Now... my band is actually working! Woo hoo! It's different for everybody -- I have 7 CCs in a 10CC band.

Hang in there hellions -- your day is coming too!

      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.
