Hi everyone, My name is Terri and I live in a SMALL mountian town in Arizona. I was banded on 11/19/04 I have lost about 35lba. I had my first fill of 3.0cc's on 12/22/04. I felt a little restriction a first but not much. Now I feel NO restriction at all. I am going in for another fill on Tuesday 5th. I haven't gone in sooner because it is a 3 hr drive to get there and the last time I had a fill I got a stress fracture in my foot from standing so long (15 min) in the flo scope. Let me explain why that was tough on me. I have a spinal disease called H.S.P. and I walk with crutches or a walker. My Dr. (Robert Berger) ask me if I though I could stand that long and I said I world give it a try. Well I did it and everything was ok until the next day. went to ER and was told I had a stress fracture. I'm walking again and my Dr. said this time we will do it laying down. (the fill you dirty minds)

Anyway, This has been a great experience and I am very excited about the up and coming NEW ME. I am taking pictures on the 19th of every month to see my progress. Can't wait until I don't take up so much camera space. I have looked at all of your before and after pic. and they are all TERRIFIC!!

Terri - I'm not familiar with that area. We always went to Tucson. My DH Dad lived there and we went out and spent a couple of weeks every year. He has passed away now, so we haven't been there for a couple of years, but he has an Aunt that is pretty special and she is getting old, so we would like to make one more trip to see her.

      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.
