Thanks, guys!

Diane - yes, the fill is too tight. I'm going in tomorrow morning for a slight unfill. It kicked in yesterday and - wow! I'm doing my best to hydrate myself rather than focusing on Protein.

Good luck to everyone!!! :)

I went in this morning to get a slight unflll - .3cc - and now feel 100% better. Chris (the nurse practitioner) pulled out .2cc then had me drink some Water. It still hurt a little (golfball feeling) and I was so thirsty so stuck the needle in, took all of the fill out, then had me drink the 16oz. bottle of Water that I had with me. Then, she pushed it all back in, had me drink a little more water, which was still a little uncomfortable. So, after all was said and done, she took out another .1cc, which brings me to .1cc less than what I had in there last Tuesday. That's ok though because I'm probably a bit swollen from the 4 PB's I've had in the past 3 days...ugh! She told me that to give it a few days and if I felt I needed to have that .1cc put back in to call her and she'll accommodate me.

Thanks, bandayed. I'm very fortunate to have a very accommodating nurse practitioner. And, thankfully, my fills are covered for an entire year after surgery.

Good luck to getting to onederland very soon!! You definitely deserve it. *hugs*

P.S. The scale said 197 this morning, but I attribute that to not really eating much the past 3 days.

You guys are kicking a@@!! I'm so proud of everybody. I have to apologize - I started this challenge and then disappeared. I'm doing so badly that I've gone into denial. Needless to say, Onederland is a bit far off for me now. But enough of my pity party - I get a fill next week and all will be right with the world. Great job everyone! ;)

      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.
