I'm the one with the Elton John Billy Joel tickets. I think I would have been ok . But I'm glad they postponed it so I can heal a little longer.

Val, maybe they ought to give you one of those swallow tests.. Usually you feel that way (so tight) right after a fill.. after your loosing all that weight, I'd hate to get unfilled and start over..let us know what happens at the appointment today.

Bugs, what time were u there today, my appt got moved up, and i was there at 11:30.............I got .2cc fill, I'll see how that does cause right now i'm just too loose. I gained a pound and it would have been more if it weren't for sheer willpower.

val, how did you make out today, I told dr. H. to say hello for me since i wouldn't be there like I thought at 1:00.. I got unfilled several weeks ago, and I gained 20 lbs, so i hope they didn't deflate u..keep us posted..........vicki

      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.
