What was the weight gain like for y'all in the days right before your period. I have gained four pounds. I was feeling so good about maybe being in the green zone with fill #3. In certainly feeling satisfied earlier and for way longer. But what the heck if I didn't gain 4 pound in 3 days!!!!

Uggghhhh!!! Anyone else see this??

Yes, I am just finishing up old flo right now. Although this time I did not gain anything, I frequently will gain a couple of pounds. It usually comes back off pretty quickly once my "friend" has left!

Mercifully, I'm old enough to not have that problem anymore, but my weight fluctuates a lot on a daily basis. I only weigh weekly to avoid stressing about it. The scale sometimes is NOT my friend. My tape measure, on the other hand, is my close personal companion. :)

Every time! I drink lots and lots of Water and lemon juice. That stupid, fickle scale is the reason I'm not allowing myself to weigh in until the end of the month. It messes with my head!!!

Does your band get tighter around the time of your period?? Maybe it's just me, but mine seems to like clamp down!! Strange.....

      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.
