Thanks for sharing everyone.I haven't had a fill yet & I'm not sure if I want one. Although I would love to lose quickly I know it's not the best way. I also don't ever want to have food stuck.i think I'll only get a little fill & go from there. You make a good point to let your body do the work. Even though we all want it now. I'm encouraged to keep moving even if it's only 1 pound a week. Keep up the good work everyone.

My husband and his huge family are from Michigan, so we are headed up to the North Western part - Traverse City area (pinkie finger area). I've never been to Michigan so am so excited! Where is your cruise going? I love cruising!

You are doing great! Better to lose slow than not at all. Besides it gives your body time to keep up with your progress. Most of the time when people lose too fast it comes back fast because of poor eating habits. I'm taking this time to learn and live my new healthy lifestyle. I'm glad you are doing well keep it up!

I will be post op 3 weeks on Tuesday June 26th. Down 14 lbs........have no restriction and possible fill on July 5th. had daughters bday yesterday and ate cake........felt awful after. Im going back on Protein Shakes tomorrow and starting my exercise tonight! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. I also had hernia repair same day, so that has restricted my eating as well. Hope to keep loosing but knowing there is no restriction is the devil, bc I know I can eat more............................

it is hard but this time will go quickly enough. i didnt do anything in particular to help me though, just that i had some hot cups of bonox, which is a strong beef drink we can buy here in australia. that helped to ease the hunger a bit.

      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.
