Cloe and Argon stop that now behave.:zip: Hang in there Argon, maybe you should just enjoy what you can now Mandi, without over doing it, until you get your fill.

Cloe the chicken Carbonara is my favorite sub there too!. :hungry:

sorry for mentioning it. If it makes you feel better I am still on liquids so it will be ages before I ever have a bite of quizinos again. :)

I am on mushies and loosing 2 lbs a week, but the time seems to be dragging before I go on solids. Funny though, I am not hungry and haven't had my first fill yet. Wonder why I would need a fill if this keeps up. How is everyone else making out? Doddie

Maybe you'll end up being one of those people Doddie... but probably not! Things will change. You'll either start being able to eat alot more, stop losing, or start getting really hungry, then realize, it's time!

Congrats on doing so well so far though, I hope it keeps going so well :)

Hi Mandi: Know you are right. I should enjoy how I am feeling for the moment. Get my first fill April 24th and wondering how it will go. I am comfortable and to interrupt my comfort zone and maybe have problems does give the worry wart sydrome.

Your 102.4 looks absolutely great. Have you had serious problems in your journey?

No, I wouldn't say I've had any problems.

(ok, some might think the defill was a problem, but I don't)

What I am concerned about is that at present, with no fill, I have restriction when I eat mushies (probably too fast). When I am told the usual first fill is 4 ccs (Fr. Midband) I wonder if that will be too tight. It has to be correct when I leave Toronto, as my doctor has never done it before and he is not open on the weekends. Doddie

I was done by TLBC in September and my first fill was 4ccs. I am at 5ccs now and I am going in for a fill on Thursday. Others in my graduating class have more fill but I am sensitive to being filled.

When you go in for your fill, Doddie, they will make you wait and sip Water afterward. This is in order to see if you are too tight. If you are, they will remove some of the fill while you are still there. This has happened to me.

Going in for your first fill is kinda fun. You get to meet others who are in your graduating class - that is to say, others who were lapbanded around the same time as you were - and while you are sitting around and sipping water you will end up swapping stories. :) It is a lot of fun.

Big NSV tonight for me. Had to shop for business pants cuz mine are too big. I have dropped not one but TWO pants sizes!!!! I am sooooo excited about this. The scale has been moving very slowly for me, but this is the positive re-inforcement I needed. I can't wait for the day I clean my whole closet out and drop it into a donation box. This is too cool!

My work pants are loose on me as well. Which is surprising because I have not lost that much weight. Guess it is time to measure myself. :biggrin1:

Anyway I should get new work pants and things but I don't really want to because I worry that in a couple months I will become too small for those and have to buy new ones all over again. I think I am going to try to hold out as long as I can.

I hope I still have some smaller sizes hanging around from when I lost weight a couple years ago with WW. :(

me, me! At the fill yesterday, the gal asked me how much I weighed, cause she needed it for my chart. I said ____ (which is my old weight plus all I've gained since the defill), and she looked at me suspiciously and asked if I was sure, and I said yes. Then she said "You carry it well." :omg: That was nice. I guess I always have, but I never think so.

So, yay for not looking your weight!

      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.
