Keep up the good work. I was banded May 24 and I am down about 14 lbs. I had my first fill on the 14th. I am learning a lot about myself and am proud of the work I am doing for MYSELF!!!

thank you for your encouraging words. Did you have a lot of pain with your fill? I am a little nervous about getting it.

I was also very nervous about the fill( I dont like needles). All the anxiety for nothing.

My surgeon had me lay on my back and he felt around my belly and pushed a little...said a little pinch.... then said hold your finger here..... It was over barely felt anything...

I love my surgeon and his whole office.

I did not watch, I just layed still and followed his directions.

I was a little tired after, I think just because I was so nervous...

Take a deep breath and relax, I am positive you will do great...

I am very glad your fill went fine... I knew you would do just fine!

My weight loss has stopped for about a week and a half... But I dont go back for a few more weeks.

I get discoraged and start the negative self talk about failure, but I straighten up and fly right.

Keep up the great work my band sister!!!

      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.
