filled yet deflated!

Shelly, That is a beautiful dress...very elegant. Thanks for sharing the pics with us, you look gorgeous in it! You've lost a great deal of weight already, I have faith that you can do this. It may come off slower the closer you get to goal, but I think you can make it. Hope your new fill helps out. I am super finicky with fills also. I literally slimed when I had my fill from 1cc to 1.5... stood up and before I even had a second sip of Water I was salivating and had to spit in a trashcan. It was not only spit but actual "slime", after that I was able to drink my water and the doctor let me leave with the 1.5ccs. Of course, I was back 9 days later to unfill to 1.3 ccs, so even small amounts make a HUGE difference for some of us. Maybe you will be able to get another teeny tiny fill in a couple of weeks and really creep SLOWLY to better restriction again?

Geez, I loveeeeeeeee weddings. Makes me think of mine too. Was a size 12. And I was more like a size 10. So I agree that 18 is probably more like a 16!!! Wedding dresses run small in cut I think too. I love your strapless dress! I went for something to cover my arms because I think mine are too big. You have perfect shoulders though!

      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.
