Hey guys! I went to my first fill app yesterday. It went great! I've been kinda down lately about my weight loss slowing down. I'm still losing 1.5-2 lbs a week, which I know is good... I'm just greedy :P Well apparently according to my Dr., I am doing beyond amazing and I am doing just as good as a bypass patient!! <--- (This made me extremely happy) He seemed really surprised. I've lost 35 lbs since Aug 29th. He gave me 1 cc, and he doesn't think ill need much more at this point. This just gave me more encouragement to keep going! Only 1 more pound to Onderland...just wanted to share my news :D Have a great day everyone!!!

You are doing amazing! I had surgery in June (22nd) and I have lost 37 lbs and am just 7 lbs for onederland!! Can't wait!!

Sounds like you are doing just perfect, so pat yourself on the back. We all want to lose quicker, but that isn't realistic. Stay the course and you will be at goal before you know it.

      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.
