Recommended Posts

1hotmama, where are you in Schaumburg ?

I would like a walking partner. I live about 3 miles West of Alexian Brothers Hospital (Dr. Rantis's Office).

I have not updated my Ticker yet, but I have lost 28 lbs since surgery.

and a total of 56 lbs since December 3, 2007. :thumbup: That is when I started my 90 day weight loss for the insurance company to cover the surgery.

I have only had 1 fill of 2 cc's in April. I know it sounds odd, but I feel some restriction with just 1 fill. I am scheduled for my 2nd fill on Thursday, July 3. My band is a 10 cc band. :lol:

Bill'sWife - How are you doing ?

I'm still doing well....I have had 2 fills and still not feeling restriction....still able to eat whatever I want.(sushi, steak whatever) and inwhatever quantity I want. was still showing slow but steady weight loss until the last couple of weeks....none! I even thin I have gained @ 5 lbs.:lol: I am due for another fill on July 11th....I'll let you know how it goes!

Thanks for asking about me!!*hugs*:smile2:

I live in Del Lago, by the Target at Meacham & Higgins. But I work all the way in Naperville, pick up my daughter in Wood Dale, then get home about 530-6 during the week. If you ever want to meet up, I'd love to. I'm trying to go bike riding on Saturdays. I want to work my way up to go to the bridge over 53 and into Busse Woods from there.

I had my 2nd fill on 6/10, 1 cc. Total is 2.5 cc in 10cc band. I've been eating bad things lately & haven't lost anything. Next appt is 7/24.

      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.
