Hang in there, it is frustratinf when weight is steady. Just keep eating good nutrition and be sure to get heart rate up to target when u exercise. The new exercise plan is good idea. Keep your body guessing! How much have you lost?

I had my fill Wednesday and could only get .5 cc which put m at 3.5. She tried to get me up to 5cc but it was to tight and when I drank the Water I can feel it gurgling in my chest. Now everything is still going down easy again ! ! ! ! ! I am not hungry though as much and sticking to the 3 times a day meal and only a cup full. The PA said that some people in the start stomach get irritated with fills causing them to get a little at a time. Any of the old bandsters had this problem? Let a sista know LOL ! !

Girl yes, that was me. They could only fill me a little at a time. That's why it has taken me so long to lose but I consider it as a good thing because now the weight will stay off and I won't be subject to gaining like I have in the past. As long as you are feeling restriction, you will be fine. :)

Ok thanks for that input. I'm ok with losing slow as long as I lose. Even though things are going down easy still I still can eat only a little and be satisfied.

I am going to the true results out my memorial city for a fill on Wednesday. There you can get an appointment every two weeks if you need it versus going to the office on south main. If everything works out I may just continue getting my fills out there. I lost 9 lbs since the 17th when I got my first fill and stopped. So does it work like that you get fills weight loss start and when it stops it times for another fill until you hit your green zone?That's what I am getting. Can any of the seasoned bandsters respond and let me know? Thanks I am also going to post this in the main forum to see if I can get a fast response. lol

      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.
