2 years, you did not say how many fills for a total in your band.

Second...have you ever had a Body Fat % done? BMI's are not very accurate and misleading. They are good for a gross measurement.

There is a running back for the NE Patriots, who is the same height as me, but weighs 10 lbs more! I would not call him fat or overweight. I'm not saying I'm an professional athlete, just saying BMI's can be decieveing.

3rd...I have been at a plateau for 3 months, loosing and gaining the same 3 lbs! Went to the Dr., weighed in and showed a 3 lb loss since my last visit..3 months prior.

After asking all the standard questions, we both agreed that I am in the Green Zone and clearly do not warrant another fill. But purely for the heck of it, he gave me a 1/2 cc fill just to see what happens.

That was tuesday. Today is saturday and I have lost 4-1/2 lbs! I must have been tetering on the ledge for 3 months, and that 1/2 cc pushed me over to where I'm falling. Not sure where I'm going to land. Like the Dr said, let's see what happens.

      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.
