I'm feeling great. Had my first fill on Monday with frank and resumed spinning on Tuesday so now I hope to see the scale go down. I'm still amazed how I'm not starving and am satisfied with so little. Never knew how much I ate till I see how little I eat now if that makes sense. How are you feeling doing? Have u gone to the support group at NYU? I'm thinking of checking it out this month....since its all so new I want to gain as much insight as I can lol

I feel great!! I go back to see Dr Fielding on the 23rd and he said depending on how much more weight I lost he will decide whether or not to give me my first fill. I said the same thing about how much less I'm eating. It really is such a difference! I haven't been to any of the supports groups recently. My husband used to have the band and so does a few of my in laws so I'm pretty familiar with what to expect. But I remember in the beginning if my husbands journey going with him, and they really are very helpful and informative. I just started doing some exercise this week and I have so much more energy! Definitely the best decision I have made to better my healthy and way of life!! I'm glad to hear you too are doing so well! Good luck to you!! :-)

That's great! I don't get my first fill until August 23! Good luck to you on your journey!! :-)

The 23rd will be my 3 year "bandiversary" since I was banded at NYU by Dr. Ren. I can't believe how fast the time has flown!

Not yet before I get a date I need my insurance approval. My doctor (whom I love to pieces) was a little slow submitting all my documents. That has slowed down my approval.

      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.
