Go for my second fill on the 16th. My doctor is very impressed with weight I have lost so far. People at work are starting to see the weight loss. Get so many compliments. That is a definite plus and another motivation to keep it up. Can't wait for next summer.....planning to go home to Ohio and a trip to Cedar Point, to ride all the roller coasters again. Have not been able to do that in 15 years.

I had my surgery on 7/18, and I just went for my two-month post-op appointment this afternoon. I'm down a total of 37.2 pounds (10 pounds over the last four weeks). He didn't do a fill this time because he said I didn't need one, since I'm in the green zone). Everything is going great - not hungry, haven't had any stuck episodes, no throwing up, no problems at all! I haven't regretted my decision for even one moment. Best choice I ever made as well! :)

I was banded July 24th, just had my second fill today (I had went in for something else and we decided to do another while I was there), and everything is just awesome! I've had a few problems here and there, but nothing I can't deal with! Down 38 pounds so far. I'm still so excited! THIS IS GONNA WORK!!! =D

      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.
