I have been going to the gym lately and it seems like i have so much more energy. I did 35 min on the bike and and 25 min on elliptical and then the circuit of weight training. Not only did I workout longer, i was at a much higher pace than usual. I was also rockin' out to some rock music from the 80s! that might have helped, i'm sure to the annoyance of others at the gym. Weight has been stagnant for the past 2 weeks. have to admit i havent been a "good doggie" either. Looking forward to my 1st fill this Thursday... 4cc i am told.

That is awesome!!! Wow, 4cc? I have been banded for 4 months and have only had two fills of 1cc each. At my 3rd fill appointment we didn't add any afterall, because my restriction seems to be pretty good right now. Good luck to you.

Isn't having energy and endurance at the gym the greatest thing? I love it too. Congrats on that awesome NSV!

The surgeon expects me to get around 8-9 cc ultmiately. He thinks the band is big for and therefore i need to get filled several times before i feel restricted. I understand from this site that everyone has a different fill level to hit the "zone". Hopefully i wont be waiting until the spring to get there. Will keep you posted on my experience with 4 cc.

      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.
