Nurse, Missbritt, and Maden.. Go get your fills! They will help you so much. I had surgery on Oct 22nd and Had my 3rd fill on Jan 6th.. I made an appt for the next one at the dr's office to make sure I go in and get them. I didn't feel restriction till my 3rd and now I feel great!! Madein, I hear you with the 5lb yo yo I was going through the same thing.. get your fills ladies, no need to feel hunger! I have 6cc now in my 14band.

I eat about 1000cals a day, my Surgeon said to stay between 900-1200. Getting back into the swing of things and feeling good again.. Now to stay on the straight road :) We Are worth it!

See a personal trainer to start with the toning. They can assess tou better than we can.

I'm doing metabolical performance training and its working for me.

Yes! I've been taking Biotin (I've read that it helps) for a couple months, but it doesn't seem to be doing much, perhaps I need to up the dosage.

I can't say I've lost much hair! No more than usual.

I'm also losing massive amounts of hair. Wish the weight would come off as fast! Luckily I had very thick hair to begin with. I do believe that it will grow back again once all the weight has come off...?

      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.
