Hell, I don't know what i'm saying or who I'm talking to half the time Jenn, I think I got my TOM today but at my age and after the surgery I can't tell if it is or just spotting for whatever reason.. Ive got another x-mas dinner tomorrow, A big one with tons of food and i am weak...:thumbup: another one on wed. so i hope i dont gain 20 lbs again that seems to be my number when i gain....:woot:

Hi Vicki, how was your party? I had 2 over the weekend myself. I'm going to the store tonight and going to get some groceries so i can debloat before my appt on Thursday. I so need a fill, I'm depressed from holidays and stuff with family court and money and just don't give a sh@% right now. not good.

Hope you are all doing well, I'm off to get ready for work, exhausted but love my new job

I am in trouble, I am on a serious eating binge and can't seem to stop myself. I am craving sweets like crazy and am eating like an out of control sow...really! not joking, I don't know how to stop and get back on track. I need to detox, but can;t seem to do it anymore.........:thumbup:

I'm so sorry, I feel the same way lately. I just tell myself that if I did it and lost it I would be waiting trying to figure out how to get the excess skin off. Its a no win situation

when you get a fill does your dr back out all the Fluid? I have learned i lose some. I want to say .15cc when I go, never more, never less, they think it is left in the tube or something crazy, but because not more they don't worry, but enough that after a while i can tell, like now!

i'm going today...

No Jenn, my doc doesn't ever check the fluid, but if I get the N.P. she does and it is always right on. but i have heard of fluid in the tubing, so maybe thats what it is..let me know how you make out today..How many cc's do you have in your band?

      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.
