I'm a July 2009 Bandster. I've done well and am now in a size 10 (my goal size). I am going to set up a fill appointment because the last 2 weeks I've been getting way too hungry shortly after I eat. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check in with my surgeon's office anyway because I have not been there in 10 months or so. I lost the first 100 pounds in 1 year and have been coasting since. Life is good.

Not doing so well.....I have lost 70 lbs so far but hoped I would have lost 100+ by know. I blame no one but myself. I slacked off on my exercise and started eating things I shouldn't have. I plan to get on track this month and get me a personal trainer. I recently had a fill and it really gives me the restriction I need. I have lost 6 lbs since my fill on 3/25 so far.

Lovelyaskanbe, 70 is fantastic! I used to think the same way, but believe me when I tell you that when you start thinking differently you will FEEL so much better!

I'm down 70 too and for awhile u was very down on myself.i also did not exercise afdc close to how I should have.....

but think of it this way...until your surgery, when was the last time you were able to lose a big amount of weight and KEEP IT OFF? also, we're so much healthier now!

i've actually had 2 unfills now...the first one nkot by choice and the second one BY CHOICE.....i know my body and my band beyer than ever...

I hope that with this new fill you get added success!

      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.
