I'm having my first fill tomorrow. Kinda nervous. I'm more nervous of the weigh in. I started Zumba 2 weeks ago going 3 days a week. I hope the scale goes down. Wish me luck!

Good Luck and don't be nervous! I am the BIGGEST baby on earth when it comes to needles and honestly it's not bad, just llike a little bee sting and it's over before you know it. As far as your weigh-in you're going to do great! You're excersing and eating right, which is what's important! More important than the number on the scale is how you feel and how your clothes are fitting! Some times the scales can be deceptive because you're losing inches vs. lbs which in my opinion is more important any way. Good luck and keep us posted!!

You are so right! My clothes do fit a little better. I try not to weigh myself often because i don't want to fixate on the number. Thank 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.
