I just found this site too. I am so excited. I was banded Sept. 25. I am down 22 lbs. and have lots of questions too. I am trying to find my way around the site. I have posted a question but have not seen it come up yet so do not know where it went.

I've been banded since 10/23 and have lost 27 pounds ... the weight loss has tailed off and I'm scheduled for my first fill on 11/28. Does it usually go this way? I know in the beginning I was having 3 oz meals, but now I'm eating food again. I'm eating less than in the past, but much more than right after surgery..:) I was 385 and I'm now down to 358 and have 123lbs to go!! I was direted from someone on the OH site and it is my pleasure to meet 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.
