Happy October fellow Marchies.

Today is the day, I get a fill after being unfilled since my hernia surgery. I’ve only had one fill and one attempt at a second, so I know what to expect. But for some reason I am as nervous as a virgin on her wedding night. I know that there is basically no pain. Maybe it’s because I’m worrying that they will not be able to get it done. That something else is wrong with my band. I want soooooo bad to get the ball rolling with my weight loss and really, really, really want this fill.

Wish me luck.

Good luck, Mrs. Husker, I'm sure you'll do great; and CONGRATS, Tammyj! Wow, everyone is doing so well!

I seem to have broken my 2-month-long plateau and lost 1.5 this week. Just 4.5 until I join you in one-erful one-derland, Tammy.

We are all MARCH-ing along, aren't we??? Have a great week, everyone.

Go Marchies! We are awesome!

In October, I'm going to kick this plateau I've been on since June! I'm getting a fill 10/17. I'm hoping 2cc's will do the trick.

Wat to go Marchies!!!!!!!!!! Hard to believe it more than 6 months. I am still getting use to this new Tool. Just when I think I need another fill I can hardly get anything dow for a few days. Been sitting at the same weight for 3 weeks now but I know it will go.

Oh Juli Congrats on the half way mark you are an inspiration to me...keep up the good work . Ahhhhh, to be in onder land still seems so far away, but having an interesting trip on the way and I know I will arrive. That s the beauty of this great tool. Have a good week everyone.

Great news that your fill went well, I know you were concerned about it. Good luck with chasing that rolling ball downhill!

Had my first PB in over a month today and I'm not sure why. Well, I did eat a piece of broccoli, big piece, of raw broccoli, and didn't chew it very well. But usually it just goes down, even if I don't chew that well. Not this time. I forgot how actually awful it is to PB, even though it did make me feel so much better. Anyone notice that with stress the band seems to tighten up? Maybe I was stressed, because thats usually what happens to me!

      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.
