Glad to see everyone is doing well. I myself have been doing just fine. I go for my 4th fill August 25. But I feel like I have good restriction right now. So do I tell the doctor no I dont need the fill or just get it.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I was curious, have you had your first fill yet? I was banded on June 22nd and have lost 21lbs but I feel stuck and was wondering if I won't see any more decrease in weight until I get my first fill.

My highest weight ever has been 265 (I'm 5'0) and I weighed in at 260 on the day of surgery 2 months ago. Stepped on the scale this morning and could not believe the scale now reads 229!!! I have not seen this decade of numbers in YEARS! Loving every second (even the hard ones) of this journey :-)

Ok thanks for that info . My doctor told me that he did not put any solution in my band at all. Although I cannot eat as much as I used to, I do not feel any restriction. Just that feeling that causes me to burb which lets me know I've had enough. :rolleyes:

      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.
