Met with Dr. John Vonkersburg... he was great... his office staff were very friendly and I was so pleased. He was friendly and informative. I got a fill and so far I am doing really well. I have been logging all my food on the livestrong websit and following a great diet. I feel good about myself again for getting back on track. Thank you so much for asking.

Just checking in and seeing how everyone is doing. Waiting to hear from the dr regarding blood tests and should be going back in about a month to follow up and see how I am doing. I refuse to get on a scale until then. Again hoping that all is going well. I do feel the difference since the 1/2 cc fill so I guess that is a good thing.

I'm doing good. Just had my hiatal hernia and band repositioning surgery yesterday. Just chilling out and healing. Avoiding the scale for a few days until all the IV fluids leave my body. Haha.

Hope you feeling better real soon. I totally understand avoiding the scale until all the fluids leave. I remember after the surgery I ended up weighing more then when I first went in and I was really really upset about that. I don't recall the dr at that time telling me that would happen..

Feeling even better today. Until I had a sneezing fit. OUCH!! Lol.

No hunger, no desire to eat. Forcing liquids down. I love this no hunger. Wish it would last forever. I have pictures from my surgery on my blog. My surgeon made copies for me. Pretty cool.

I am doing really well. Today I feel almost back to normal (just slight pain when I take a deep breath now). Finally dropping more weight again too... only 3 pounds from twoderville. Woot!

      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.
