Just keep on keepin on.

I had just 2.2cc and lost my excess weight. Had .3cc removed for maintenance but have lost another 5lbs.

If I go below 140 I'll get another slight unfill.

Hi Kimmie:

I have a 4 cc band, and am now filled to only 1.5. I believe that my doctor is conservative with fills, but that's okay with me. I got 1.0 first, then added .5, had to have .5 out, then added .2, then added .3, so now I'm back at 1.5, but it's only been four days since the last fill. Hopefully this will work for me. I've already pb'd a couple of times since Wednesday.

My doctor told me the other day that he doesn't have anybody filled more than 3.0, so I don't expect that I will ever go higher than that. He's been doing bands for 2+ years and has had alot of successful bandsters in that time.

Good luck finding restriction.

Sue

      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.
