Hi bjr,

Hang in there and discuss with your doctor about a more aggressive fill at the visit. Perhaps the doctor has a good reason and that would be great to share with you. My first fills were much more aggressive and now I am getting tiny fills when I get them (last fill was .2ml).

Hang in there, when you get dialed in the restriction will really help with managing the food. In the mean time keep up with your Water, exercise and getting the appropriate amount of rest, it really does help.

You can do it!

Happy banding,

Mary

Well, it's coming off slowly, but I'm getting there. It's been a rough month for me, we had 12" of snow, I twisted my OTHER ankle, still in a brace sometimes, so haven't been able to walk this month, however having said that another pound closer to Twoterville!

Went to my first support group meeting last week as well. Can't wait till I'm in the banded bunch!

WYD,

I am assuming based on your screen name that you are a man? Well, 3.1 lbs. per week is not unreasonable thinking in that instance.

Good luck!!

      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.
