I went in for my fourth and hopefully final fill. I think this one is it. I have already lost 2 lbs since the fill on Yesterday. I know it is because I am on liquids. I am now at about 44 lbs gone. I love this band. I am glad everyone is doing great!

I for some reason am not doing well. I just had another fill and am filled up to 6cc in my 10 cc band.

I have lost about 30 pounds. I am really upset about it. I have been eating about 1000 calories and am exercising now. ao I hope this will kick it into gear..

Other wise i am going to crawl under a boulder. Not a rock I woul not fit.

I was banded on August 23rd. I have so fave lost 36 pounds, but I've only just had a fill giving me restriction, so I'm looking forward to some serious weight loss over the next few weeks. :)

Hi, I was banded on August 5th and have lost 22 kg. I've been at a bit of a stand still weight wise for the last 6 weeks, so, as of today, am committing to walking every day. I've had 4 fills and now have about 5ml in a 10 ml band. My short term goal is to get to 90 kg by May (that's 8 kg - not impossible) and then I'm going for a visit home, to surprise my family and hubby's, most of whom do not know I have done this.

Thanks, yes I went through a difficult time in the beginning. Now I am totally opposite, I hate to eat and have to FORCE myself to do it. LOL

      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.
