Hi everyone I know its been a over 3 weeks since I last posted but I have been so busy with my inlaws 50th wedding anniversary

that I have not even had much time for myself.. but here is the good news last time I posted I could not get over that darn 200 mark I was so frustrated for about 3weeks straight I did not even see the scale move at all then one day ta da it did.. today I am now 195 lbs yippee!! I also went on wednesday to get my fill down in TJ and I asked my doctor how many cc's my band held and found out that it holds 9 cc's very interesting everyone I know thier bands hold like 4cc's does anyone elses band hold that much.. I was just wondering why I did not get the other one like everyone else has and of course I forgot to ask duh... I got a really good fill this time and I think thats all I am going to need for quite a while I hope... I am at 6.5 cc's at this time and I eat very small meals now.. before he gave me this last fill I was able to eat much larger portions and was not satisfied that I was not restricted enough but now I know the difference much different...

well anyway thanks everyone for listening I am very happy and working hard at keeping this real for the first time now I am finally really noticing a difference in the way my clothes fit they are getting much looser that is the best feeling.. I know that I can wear a 16 comfortably and the 14 is right behind that....

:D :D :D :D :D:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

WooHoo!!! Onederland!!! Congratulations on a job well done! I think the Swedish band holds more cc's. That must be the one you have.

Thanks guys.. you know and I have to admit that actually being under 200 lbs has really picked up my spirits and got me really motivated to do better... I am trying even harder but dont get me wrong I will still have a peice of candy once in a while..

Congratulations Jeanie!!! :D :D :D Plateaus are so frustrating, but you finally beat it!

It must feel wonderful to be under 200 and fitting into smaller sizes. I can't wait to get to where you are... I think it would motivate me as well. I think you really have to hit a certain point to begin feeling like the band is really going to work. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten there yet.

Great job - when do we get to see some before and 'after' pics?

Congrats' Now go buy some tight jeans!!!

Iv'e got the swedish band which can hold up to 9.5 cc's. The Vanguard (Inamed) can hold alot. I was just asking the doc about that one, He said most don't feel restriction till they're at about 5cc's?? I'd find out exactly which band you have.

Onederland!!! yippee

      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.
