Well I was banded on Sept 22 and lost a total of 10 pounds between then and November 10th when I has my first fill. When I got on the scale yesterday morning I was up 5 pound from the day before but for my that is not uncommon because of Fluid retention around that time of the month. But today I am back down that 5 pounds I just wish the scale didn't have that 5 pounds so the Dr could see it really was a 10 pound loss not 5. I am happy with that first 10 because it is more then I would have loss on any other diet and more then I have ever loss in 6 weeks before.

I was ready for a fill about 3 weeks post op but like everyone else had to wait. So I went for my first fill yesterday and I was filled with 4cc. I have been doing liquids and did do some mushy cireal because I was so stinken hungry I was going in saine needed to take the edge off. My stomach was having a musical number from being empty.

So today I decided to do spagettie o's and I can tell the difference. I have to eat slow because it feels like it takes longer to go from my throat to my stomach and after about 10 spoon fulls I am done. I do need to eat something every couple of hours.

My incissions heeled kind of slow. My large on where my port is had one cornor that never closed like It was supposed to so I had to keep Bacitracin ointment and change the dressing 2 time a day until the last week in October. Now it is healed over finally. The rest of my incissions were healed about 2 1/2 -3 weeks post op.

I am a dinner at work and since I had the time I thought I would fill everyone in.

The reason's I have not been on so much is because I have been wicked tired from my Chronic Fatigue syndrome so I just have not had the extra energy. Also I have been trying to be positive about the 10 lbs and I was worried if I saw the other Sept bandsters loosing alot I might get down about it.

Anyways I am going to make more of an effort to check in atleast every couple days.

Hope everyone is happy in bandster land...:)

      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.
