karey: Have a great time on your trip to Mexico! Don't let those margaritas get the better of you.

I'll try to do the same. We'll be in San Antonio for a few days next week, taking our granddaughter to Sea World.

Hope you have a fun and Happy Thanksgiving!

I can't believe there are 98 pages to this page - don't think I've checked in since there were maybe 60 pages.

Well, I've had two fills now and I have ZERO restriction. I mean I could eat an entire pizza if I so chose - which I don't of course - but I can't believe that I could at this point! My Dr. did tell me that I have the larger band, which holds more, but he's already given me 5cc. Says I should start to feel restriction at the 3rd or 4th fill (which I'll have by the end of this year), but geezzzzze - Frustration Station.

Anyone else out there with the larger band having the same issues as impaitent me?

Hopeworks: I'm in the same boat as you! Not losing, eating too much, no restriction, disappointment and frustration. I'm scheduled to go back right after Thanksgiving though. But I feel like I'm wasting some time without help from the band.

Guess we gotta get through this until we find our "sweet spot". Grrrr.

I'm down 4 for the week! That takes me to -20 for the challenge, and I'm -50 since surgery! :) :) I like those nice round numbers! (Not that I want to stay here or anything. :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.
