Hello Fellow Bandsters

I want to let you all know how I was doing and check in with you all - I have now had my 3rd fill- at 5.3ccs in a 10cc band.

I will admit this fill is causing me some problems but I am keeping the faith. Would love to hear from you all!

Great job! Funny, when I saw your title, I thought good for her. But on my own journey, I have felt bummed, thinking I haven't done well.....but we are practically doing the same!!!! So I guess, good for me too!!!

Thanks for opening my eyes to my own success!!!

Thanks for all the nice words ladies! I am having a hard time with this fill I can't seem to keep much down- I am def learning new things about being stuck and as of today I think I am done with Starbucks for a while- getting stuck in the middle of the mall isn't a fun thing!!

Any tips for eating/swallowing when you have these feelings would be greatly appreciated- I didn't even to get to workout today due to my stuck nature :(

I think we have to Celebrate - my goal is 10lbs a month and hopefully I make it - need to lose 9 more to catch up but I made that my goal when I had surgery- I will say that I am now in the portion where exercise is key----- let's keep talking so we can motivate one another!!!!

Sounds great! I like the 10 lb a month idea, but for now I am hoping to achieve 5 if it never comes back! I have got to get exercising. I stsrted out strong then I let sore knees slow me to a halt. Time to step it up!

Let's do it december partner.... : )

      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.
