Welcome Veronica: Hey where is Archie, Jughead and Betty? Or am I showing my age here?

Anyway, I was banded on the same day as you and Michelle, April 6, 2004 by Dr. Lopez at Sanoviv Medical Institute in Rosarito, Mexico.

I go for my second fill tomorrow. Keep up the GREAT work and see ya around.

Welcome Veronica! I think you'll find this the most informative, educational, entertaining and supportive site there is. These folks are true gifts for those of us new to banding. I wouldn't be banded now if it werent for this site. I'd still be researching wondering if I could actually do it.

So pull up a chair and sit a spell!

Hi Veronica How are you doing? Getting excited about your fill? Hopefully the 2nd fill will make a big difference for you. I know it did for me. Just dont get filled to tight since you live out of state. I would hate for you to have problems once you get home and have to come back for an unfill. Remember sometimes a fil lcan take a week or 2 to kick in. Don't be alarmed if you do not feel immediate restriction. Good Luck to you, let me know how it goes and you can call me anytime

I AM so excited! I am seriously counting down the days. I am sure my husband will try sending me this week if I keep reminding him how many days are left. I finally lost the pound and a half I put on for being bad last weekend.

      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.
