Hey everyone, I was also banded March 19th. I'm seriously frustrated and super depressed right now. I lost 12 lbs during my preop and during the first week of liquid diet. Since then I got 1 fill of 4cc and I haven't lost anything since. I can only get 1 fill every 6 weeks per my Dr. I spent all this money, did the painful part and recovery time. I exercise everyday that I don't work ( I work 12 hour shifts when I do work and it's impossible to fit it in), that's exercise 3-4 times per week. I'm dying for another fill and just feel hopeless right now..............uhhhhh

Netty i actuallt gained for two weeks. How many calories r u eating. I gained because i want eating enough. When i upped my cals to 900-1100 i started losing. I also do 45 at the gym 6 days a week. And the 7 just stay moving. Follow the rules.go back to square 1. U must excercise at least 30 day. Protein first. At least64 oz.of water.i was banded 3/19 too.

How is everyone doin here ? everyone still around ? Me myself im doing great i keep slowly losing.... i might start to really exercise now , i still cant get my self motivated tho im such a lazy butt .....i had my 4th fill today im at 4.5 in my band ...the only bad thing about this losing weight is that i lose my hair along with the lbs but i hope it will stop soon, i will try to focus on the Protein more and see if that helps .....other than that im feeling really great ...

Hi, I was banned on March 16th, nice to talk to someone with a date so close to mine. I have lost 38 lbs so far. Slow progress I think because I am not exercising like I should :( I have 3.5 cc's in my band and I think I might get a tiny fill on Tuesday, and I should be in the green zone! Over the last week or two I have had unusual pain near my port, have you experienced this at all? It's just a dull achy pain...I'll talk to the dr about it Tuesday. Keys keep moving toward our weight loss goals!!

Hey guys! I am down just about 60 lbs. I am happy with it, not excersing enough though, mostly because it is too bloody hot here! I joined a gym but they dont open until September. I have had to buy "transitional" clothes, sex life has GREATLY improved, no longer obsessing about food, battling to get enough Protein, and learning to adjust to more male attention. There's a little of my journey!

      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.
