Well finally I'm happy to report I'm in ONEderland and also broke through my plateau!

I'm coming up on my 5 month bandiversary on the 5th...hey is that my golden bandiversary?

I have to say how pleased I am thus far with my loss and my new little friend...

I'm really restricted right now but learning to work with it...I had a small tweak on Wednesday which is instituting the good band eating rules again for me...chew chew chew

I've started walking the dog more...now he expects a walk everday!

I again want to thank everyone on the board for their constant and caring support!

Thanks for all your replies...

Ahead of the bell curve...why do I still feel so fat? LOL

I went against your advice and got a small tweak...so glad I did...I didn't realize how much restriction I didn't have...now I'm tighter than tight and trying to deal with it...I'm sure it will loosen up after I get my period...so...I have until Wednesday!

Thanks for all your replies!

Congratulation:cool:

I knew you where getting tweaked when you wrote......I'm planning on going with my band twin to her fill appointment tomorrow and I too have an appointment...I'm going to talk with the PA who does our fills and see what she thinks...it just sucks that my only day off after working 6 days I have to waste on a 4 hour drive to Milwaukee and back...oh well!

I would have too. Just curious, What did your PA say.. If your too tight will you have some removed? (I don't think that'll happen) Whats your total fill amount?

Vera,

The PA said that based on the amount I could eat I could use a fill...she put me up .25 so now I'm at 3.25 total...

      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.
