I'm in Austin, much nicer than Houston not so humid. Lived in Houston as a young child (moved to SoCal at 12).

I have a 10cc band. It took almost 8 months and several fills for me to get to the green zone, funny I was less than 20 pounds from goal by then. I currently have about 7cc in my band but you will find that the amount for the green zone will very from person to person.

You are in bandster hell, it sucks. Just focus on Protein first, 1 to 1 1/2 cups of food per meal, small bites, chewing till mush and eating slow. If you do need a snack make it a Protein snack (cheese, greek yogurt, etc). You will see results.

Good luck to you.

      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.
