It's been a tough 35 lbs, and I'm still slowly losing, but I'm definately looking forward to my second fill.

29 pounds today and need to get another fill. I've only had one so far, and starting to get a bit hungry between meals. Guess I should get it done before I try to imitate the T-Giving Day Bird!

29 pounds, wow... that just feels good to type. Even better when it's 30 something!

I was banded on August 16 and have lost a total of 32.5 lbs. I had my first fill on Oct. 2 (4.5 cc in a 10 cc band). I have stalled out, having lost only about 6.5 lbs since that fill. I'm going in for a checkup/fill tomorrow, so hopefully things will pick up!

50lbs and it shold be more. My weight keeps bouncing up and down. Only 11 more to make my Christmas goal. I am starting to think it would just be easier to just not eat. My stomach is growling and moving around right now.

      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.
