Got my 2nd fill today and had a major rude awakening! No weightloss!! So I revamped my fridge and definately seeking better choices. I am stumped admitted to my Doc. That I am having a hard time eating 3 meals a Day and am doing 1- 2 meals only. He kinda scoled me but bottom like he said I am maintaing due to my body going into storage mode. I hope this month is better.

I am sorry you didn't have a loss this round but there are many more to come. This is a marathon, not a sprint. At least you are being pro-active an took a good look at what you are doing. Best of luck to you. We can do this!

Thank you! I am determined to break 190 and I am now reading all labels and counting sugars. Since I have erratic insulin issues and I am on Metformin, Sugar is quite the enemy. I have a new hop in my step and this is just a hiccup!

I had my surgery dec 17th and Christmas was a blur as far as holiday food. I was recuperating and not hungry at all. Now it has been 12 weeks and I am down 34 pounds and feel great. I have 5 cc in a 10 cc band. Thankful for the chance to change my life and look forward to achieving my goal of 60 pound loss. Yea!!! Good luck everyone! This is the best thing I have ever done!

I'm set for December 17th! Right now I go from eating really bad' date=' since I won't be able to later, to thinking I should already be trying to shrink my liver. I'm trying to learn everything I can.[/quote']

How is your weight loss going? We got banded on the same day and I'm curious to know if your having better luck with your weight loss than me?

I'm down 39 pounds and it is really slowing down. I lost 2 pounds last month :/ I only have 2 ccs in my band so far. It seems to adjust itself.

PBT, keep going, you will have stalls. Don't get discourages. Just make sure you are eating right and exercising. It will catch up to you. Doesn't mean you need a fill. Sometimes people change it up to get it started again by changing what or when you eat and your exercise, try a different routine.

It's a slow process for me as we'll. I'm down 52 lbs pre and post op. sometimes I get frustrated but when I think about the highest weight I ever was at I'm happy with what I have accomplished.

      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.
