Well last Wednesday I got a tweak...from 3.0 to 3.25 cc's...thought it would loosen up after I got my period and boy was I wrong...for the past week I was miserable...struggled to get anything solid down and was even having problems with liquids...

Wednesday made the five hour round trip for an unfill...back to 3.0 and let me tell you what a difference it made...I feel like a new person...

Moral of the story...if you think your too tight you probably are and there is no reason to struggle...yes...I lost 7.5 lbs in a week...maybe if I kept that fill I'd be down to goal by the end of the month...but not the healthy way and not the comfortable way...

OH...and the other thing is I dropped a load of money at banana Republic on two pairs of size 16 pants! YIPPEE!

Jennye, that's awesome! 16 sounds like such a "normal" size!!

Good for you and your "band sense". Sounds like you are really in touch with reality! You'll continue to do really well!

Jennye, I'm so glad you decided to have the unfill rather than continue struggling. You definitely don't want to have any problems when you're so close to goal (nor at any other time, obviously), so good for you for making that choice!! :banana

Take care of yourself, girlie!!

Thanks for letting us know whats going on.... You know I've been watching your journey as well as may others and we're concerned.

I'm glad your not struggling with a big fill.

Congrats on getting into size 16's! Don't buy too many new clothes. Before you know they'll be too big. Mark my words....3 monthes ago I was in 16's and last week I got 2 pairs of stretch 12 Lee Capris(tight but fit)....I believe the body compacts.

It seem like alot of us get platues, 2 weeks not 1 lb down then boom 3 lbs down in 2 days. Even every day is different. Last week I had ribs, last night they wouldn't go down. Slow but steady is going to be my motto.

Go out and strut them pants: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.
