Well folks, it is done!!!!! All went well, I also got the new band. Just resting at home now. Some shoulder and upper abdominal discomfort but I'll live. Was real groogy after I came home. Today I am much better. I can't believe after so many years of trying I finally got it done.

Kacee, glad you enjoyed. Nothing like a prime cut of meat. Now we can take focus off quantity and we can increase quality. Whenever I do start to eat again I plan to focus on quality foods. May cost more but now I need a lot less.

Well, just about 2 months out now and I am holding at about 30lbs +-. I get my second fill today and I could use it. I feel as if I have no restriction at all. I had a 16 oz steak on my birthday (back to the steak thing again) and experienced no problem with it at all. Matter of fact, I have had no problem with foods at all. No pb's, no slimes, nothing. I had some restriction after the first fill, nothing major but enough to hold the snacking down but now it is all shear will power to stop from over doing it. I am excercising at least 3 days a week. I plan to put it in overdrive the next 4 weeks in order to meet my personal goals. Just hoping fill two makes it a little easier.

Hey lady! I was just going to mail you today but I got distracted putting out fires. I am fine. Down about 35lbs now. I just got my third fill and I am filling it. Nothing bad though, just nice to have some emergency brakes. How are you coming along? I bet you all skinny now!!

      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.
