I feel you guys on the scale. I think I am going to ban myself from it for the first few weeks until my 1st fill appointment.

Tomorrow is my first fill! Just A month post-op. I really need it, I feel that everyday I have less restriction and I'm eating a little more. I haven't gain any weight but my goal is to lose it all! I can't wait to start loosing again like right post-op :) despite this fact, I'm feeling great! So much active and with so much energy, love it!

I love the energy. That would be worth getting the lap band all on its own. The losing weight would be a bonus. :-) I haven't felt this good and active in years and I am only two weeks post op. I can't imagine further down the road, but I'm looking forward to it.

I was banded May 17th and so far from pre-op to now I've lost 29 pounds. At the time of surgery, my surgeon put 4.5cc of saline. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago (1cc) and my next is June 24th. I almost feel like I'm losing rather slowly but I don't feel a lot of restriction and I'm hungry quite a bit. Anyone else experiencing hunger. Sorry, if you've already discussed but I haven't read through all the posts.

I was banded may 29th. From pre op diet 5/16 to now down 30 pounds! Only 4 weeks post op on soft foods now. My first fill not til July 12th. No hunger only consume around 600-700 calories a day. Feeling great! No pain no problems eating but being very compliant! Eating slow and small bites. Very satisfied consuming bout 60 grams Protein a day. Will carry on! Feel so much better. Have R/A and my arthritis pain is much improved. Good luck to everyone. It's not easy and everyday is a challenge . I have always loved food.< /p>

      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.
