oh, thank you Renewedhope! I have been struggling for a year now, or almost a year. Since November of 2007, I got overfilled and have been struggling to get some restriction again (they ended up taking a lot out when I got overfilled and had to spend the night in the hospital because of severe dehydration. - not fun)

I think I might FINALLY have some restriction. At least today and yesterday I did. Hopefully I can start losing again, I haven't lost since November of last year - so frustrating.

Thanks again for your kind words.

I just started the Pre-Op plan yesterday, high Protein, low carb/low fat, with no snacking, caffine, carbonated beverages etc.. I saw potstickers and mini tacos in the freezer.. made them.. and then made myself fish, I lost 3 lbs (water weight or not) in a day... I think I'll stick to my diet, my kids will eat half a taco each and they'll go in the trash!

Sunshine,

My doctor cautioned me when I went for my 3rd fill on 8/5 - He said he didn't want to overfill me because to remedy it - it is almost like backing way off and starting over again. I fill just about right at this moment - I hope everything begins to go better for you!!

Your doctor is totally right! I have been overfilled twice since November and it is like starting over! I have not lost weight since November because of it either. I think I am FINALLY to my sweet spot. I'm on day 3 now and still feel the restriction. Its not too tight, but for the first time in my freaken band life, I have to slow down on eating. I'm either too lose, or they put a little more in, and I go completely shut up, where I am PBing my own saliva, it is not fun, then they have to take me way down again, and ease me back up. Its been such a long road, but - I might be there! I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope this restriction last!:tt2:

I am staying on plan today because since starting the pre-op diet on Wednesday I have dropped almost 10lbs!!! I started at 265 and I'm down to 258! That's 8 lbs gone in 2 days (that was this morning) it could be Water weight, thinner clothes, whatever.. but I'm staying on plan!

I did eat an ounce of cheese for snack (not supposed to snack) but I didn't get to eat all my steak salad because we were at the doctors for 2 hours.

:tt2:

      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.
