Vicki,

as of right now, Im up 1lb since they took out my fill. Im hoping to lose it before wednesday so at least Im the same as last months weigh in when they took it out. I want a .5 fill I think I only need a little. I like to think of it as tightening up my motivation.

20 lbs sucks but you just have to get your motivation back and think how far you have come. No need to backslide now. Just think about onederland and all the beautiful small clothes you can buy.

good for you Rain, 1 lb is nothing, it could be Water. I totally backslid and I'm having a terrible time getting my mojo back. I am starving all the time. I too think I will try just .5, although I feel alot looser at 5cc than before. He said every fill and unfill is different since the band settles some place different everytime, so I hope .5 is ok... we'll see.:tongue_smilie:

Hey China, I'm sorry I haven't called, but I was out of town for the weekend. Also, Jerry accidently erased your number from the machine so e-mail or call me. My e-mail is vslawich@gmail.com.

so anyhoo, I went today and I didn't see you china. I did get 1 cc, his call, and I am feeling the restriction. I gained 20lbs in just a matter of weeks and I cried like a big boob, dr. H must have thought I was nuts!!!! So, I'm hopefully back on as of today..wish me luck.

Good luck to you too Rain, I hope all goes well for you on your upcoming visit.

How did you make out China?

well guys, I was back at the Hoff's today cause I was way too tight again, so he took out .5cc and wow what a difference. You wouldn't think .5 would make such a difference, but it does when your so close to the sweet spot. I'm not sure if I'm there yet but I am close.

Rain, didn't you have an appt today, and China did you go yesterday?

Where is everyone?

Vicki,

I could here you at the hospital today, but I couldnt see what room they put you in.

I weighed the exact same today as I did when they took out the fill, so Im grateful for that. I got another .5 put back in. Probably the one you got taken out. Wouldnt want to waste it haha. I havent really eaten anything solid so I will have to wait and see how it goes.

hey vicky and rain,

im hear and doing good. i went on tuesday and i have lost 10lbs in the last 2wks and 3days. i was very tight at first. i opted not to get any removed. its slowly loosening up now i have been able to eat solid food for the last week now just not that much. it feels good to see the scale moving again. i hope everyone is doing good. im learning that this is a slow process but, im in it for the long haul.

I sent my paperwork in last week and haven't heard anything back yet. Should I call Dr Hoffman's office? Could someone give me the number (including the area code please) I just really want to make sure the ball keeps rolling here.

Thanks :tongue_smilie:

      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.
