That is because you are still in the adjustment stage, I was banded in October and still needing an occational adjustment. Give yourself time! Please do not be discouraged. It is a slow process and your time is coming.

thanks for your words of encouragement, b/c I'm sooooooooooo discouraged. I sit here day after day reading all the success stories and I'm happy for each and every one of them, but then i look in the mirror and ask why can't I have that success? I go for my 2nd fill on 2/15, I hope I can get some restriction.

Germaine....boy is this a slow process but hell we didn't gain the weight overnight and we won't lose it that way. Be patient it will come, some weeks/months better than others. If you fall off the bandwagon jump right back on the next day...Your new you is coming girl :) STAY STRONG and Kat09 good for you :)...I was banded Sept 14th and started at 320 and am now down to 257....I have good days and bad, I stay off the scales everyday now and only do once a week...I am geting my third fill next week, i now have 6.8cc's in a 10cc band and feel alittle more will take me to that "zone"....Congrats All :)

      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.
