Yay! I'm in a size down in jeans! Luckily I have several different sizes in my closet, LOL. I had tried them on a couple weeks ago and they almost fit. Today, no problem. It would be nice to skip a size or two on the way down.

Had second fill today of 2cc's now a total of 7cc in my 14cc band. Hope to see more change soon. I was down some weight also. I did not want to get on their scale so did not pay attention to what it was. Staff said keep doing what I am doing. And YES muscel mass is heavier then fat. So all this stress for nothing. (or was it).

Have a bad case of hiccups tonight thou.

Thanks for all you do on here for me

Thanks

At my last fill I gained 4 pounds.... :-( ... I am up to 7cc and only feel restriction in the morning.. This week I really starved myself just Decaf coffee and 1 meal a day... Lost those 4 pounds, but I know I can't keep that up... Going back to the gym starting Monday.. Hope that helps out... I have failed at every weight loss attempt and I really can't let this one fail too...

Hi Shonda- this has to be a sustainable lifestyle, and you're right, coffee and one meal a day isn't that, LOL. Eat sensibly, eat small portions, even if you're still hungry- it's willpower until you get to restriction!! Do you log your food? A lot of us use My Fitness Pal- on the computer or an app on your phone. I log everything! food and exercise. I wish it had a way to track Water, though. Good for you on the exercise, that will definitely help! You won't fail. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

I did 43 minutes of my elliptical on Saturday, plus weed whacked- my arms are still killing me :). I have definitely noticed as I lose weight I want to get out and do a lot more!!

      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.
