<p>And now for me::: I went in for my 5th fill this morning and the dr said that I was doing great!!! I love going up there and hearing all the band storys in the waiting room...It makes me want to just go up there and sit for a couple hours even when I dont have an appt...lol...Well, anyways he filled me to a total of 2.95 in my 4 cc band so I think that I am pretty much topped off for a while...That scale weighed me 2 lbs less that what I weighed yesterday so I dont know if the scale there is just that much off or what...Its usually pretty much the same as the one that I weigh on at work...Oh well, I am on liquids till Sunday when I will go back to work and weigh in for the week...I am hoping that their scale was correct cuz that will finally put me over my 70 lb mark which was a goal for me before my new uniforms came in (and I dont see any new uniforms yet) lol</p>

You guys are all doing great! I had a scare a few weeks ago, I woke up with the whole left side of body numb. I went to Water aerobics that morning and I could hard lift the weights with my left side. I came home and called the doctor and ended up seeing a neurologist and getting a bunch of tests and MRI's. They thought I had a stroke, a brain tumor or MS. Thankfully, the stroke and tumor have been eliminated. I could still have MS, but hopefully not. I am getting my strength back. I got the go ahead to start exercising again this week. I have been going to water aerobics and walking. I also finally lost some weight. Four pounds this week. I think that the platueau is over! Yeah! I'm alive, hopefully healthy and I can do this!

I dont feel any different than I did before the fill....I started eating solids again yesterday and even gained half a lb...I have heard that it sometimes takes a week or 2 for a fill to kick in so I am hoping that that is the case for me...I am just going to sit back and wait for it all to happen...lol...Come On Band!!!!!!!!!!

Morning all! Unfortunately, I didn't hit my 100 this weekend.:hurt That last pound just wants to hold on. :mmph: With m/e this week though, I plan to get it off for good (as well as a few more).

Karey--How are you doing now? I hate to hear what you are going through. I hope everything turns out good. And...congrats on the four pounds!!!:)

Cdgmom--:wave: It's good to hear from you! Let us know how m/e goes.

Avilla--Your ticker is looking better and better!! :)

Tann--Your post reminded me of the commitment I made to bootcamp. I said by Memorial Day I would be below 300 and I will! I have a few more to go to get there but I will work as hard as I can to achieve my goal and hopefully surpass it! :thumb: Thanks for the reminder!!

I posted my before during pics on the Before and After page. :photo: Go check 'em out!! It doesn't dawn on me until I see those pics side by side.

      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.
