Hey David,

I don't want to nitpick, but your math is off. You're down 60 lbs!! Did you do that in only one month?!! Holy moly, Batman, why did you get a fill?

opps down to 298.. only 50lbs, but boy am I happy. I got the fill because I started to add weight this past week... I was eating and eating. Just had dinner was hoping for more restriction was able to eat one and a half bowls of Soup with no problems and still felt like I could eat more. far less food than before the banding!!!

P.S. I follow the doc's orders to the "t". I figure he knows more than I do and he's a bandster......

Oh, I must admit I'm jealous on several levels!

First, though, congratulations! Wow, 50 lbs!

Your doctor is banded? That must be the best-case scenario. I constantly feel like I am educating my doctor's office staff about what I am going through with the band, and trying to get them to understand the struggles to lose weight without restriction.

Also, I have to wait and wait for my first fill because my doctor is so busy. I'm scheduled for May 6. That's 10 weeks post-op for me. I'm down 18.4 (to be exact!), but I had lost 18 within the first four weeks.

Now I'm eating and eating. It is so discouraging.

Let us know how you do with the fill. My sister and I were banded on the same day. She had a fill last week of 1.7cc. and so far feels no restriction. So, she is feeling discouraged.

Again, congratulations. I'm hoping to be down 50 in six months.

Oh, you men! You always lose weight faster than we do!!!!!!

Keep going, candy

      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?

      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.
