So I'm a year and almost 2 months out of surgery and I went for my annual fluoroscopy today, and everything looks great! they even made a video for me! I'm really excited that everything is ok, and happy to see how my band is working for the first time.

I'm a slow loser, but I'm still loosing! and I got a new fill today, and I'm so sure this is going to put me in the right happy place. I feel really hopefull today so I want it to share it with you guys! :)

I have only lost 22 pounds in a year, mostly in the last 6 months, because, gosh, I was so hungry right after the surgery and with no restriction at all. But after a couple of fills I started to loose weight and I got more energy and I started to swim about 2 months ago, so that's helping too! Maybe is not a huge weight lost, but this is the first time I'm been loosing weight ever! So if you are loosing, and not gaining, that's all you need! Now, I know I can do better, eat better and excercise more and seeing my band today for the very first time it kinda give me motivation to loose 22 more! hopefully in less than a year :)

You can do it! it might take a while, but you are on your way!

      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.
