yfitnesspal.com will track everything including restrant food..tracking has been the key for me I also make a veggie Soup (not much broth) very low cals and have some protient. 50oz of Water and 32 oz of Snapple one coffee (no sugar) and one tea. tracking will tell you a lot. I also weight every morning and put it on the calendar and soon I saw a pateran and could make some changes... If you are hungry b4 4 hours you need a fill...this is a diet and the diet rules apply but the band helps with hunger and you can truly control what and when you eat. do the work and the pounds fall off track it track it track it....you can do this I cant believe I am 70 lbs lighter and mentally and physical I feel great all the time I never knew this feeling and it is wonderful.

Thank you everyone! I've started tracking calories and drinking more Water, I haven't lost anything yet but I am going for another fill which will be my 5th fill probably about 8cc, lets hope it's green zone time!!!

Glad you're keeping positive about this. I would recommend going to an endocrinologist to get tested for a potential hormone imbalance. It might be that you just have something that is preventing you from losing weight. I hope this is not the case just for the sake of your health, but I have a friend with thyroid problem that was gaining weight even after her WLS. She's now medicated and back on track!

I'm at over 14cc in a 14cc band. Sometimes you just have to crank that baby to 11! That being said, I exercise almost every day and I follow a low carb high protein/fat diet and avoid sugar, fruits, breads, rice, etc.

Are you really 14cc's in a 14cc band??

      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.
