Hey all,

Just checking in to say HI.

Nulife, glad you found this spot, I have found this thread to be extremely helpful.

I am going for my 2nd fill on 02-03-09 and quite honestly I cant tell that I have the first fill. which is depressing to me, of course I want everything instant and thats not going to happen either, I know!

Jason, glad to know you are still out there and doing well, actually you are doing great. I will be so excited when I lose 60.

Everyone take care and hope to speak to you all real soon!

I am so glad you made it Tiana. This board is a great site for support between support group meetings. I am probably late - but don't worry about your fill. It's not that bad at all. More weird than anything.

Glad to see you are still kickin Jason. Sounds like you have got some good restriction going.

Kani I know I am way tighter at that time of the month (sorry guys). Do you think that is a possability? The tightness usually last about 3 days and then I am back to normal (whatever that is).

Hope everyone is having a nice day!

=)

Shawna When I was first banded I had probs with being tighter once a month :thumbup: but I havent since about the 3rd month. This is just crazy....like yesterday I had sliced turkey and cheese on crackers for lunch...no prob. last night I try to eat....Couldnt do it....Its like every other meal I get sick I even got sick one day last week with milk.....Im trying to stick it out and making sure Im chewing my food to mush but I just dont know

if this isnt better by the end of the week Im gonna get .25 of the .5 taken out.

But yeah that once a month tightness is due to the Fluid shifts in your body...you swell and bloat in odd places :w00t:

It sounds like I missed a good meeting sat. I will hopefully be at the next one...I was beat after clinicals this weekend so Im ready for a day off...

Hi Tiana, it was great meeting you. The fill wasn't a big deal was it? Glad you made it to our little group here. If you're ever feeling down, just drop in. Everyone here is so inspirational to me. I need to drop in more often myself! I'm at a standstill. Need to exercise, need to exercise, need to exercise......

Jason, good to know everything is OK with you!

hello everyone!

well i had a bad night last night. i tried to eat some bread. and that was a no no. before this last fill i could eat some. but now theres no way. i have been hurting ever since then to. it all came back up after a few mins. then i was like ok thats it. but no. this morning i got up and cooked some Breakfast for ewveryone and i cooked me some eggs. well i couldnt even eat them. i cant really even drink much this morning. so its been tuff today.

on another note im hoping my scales is correct. becaused i weighted today it it was down 10 pounds from last monday. now i didnt have shoes and bluejeans on like i did when i went to the dr. but im hoping its at least half way right.

hows everyone else doing.

and kaninag, where do you get your shoters from?

your jeans and shoes shouldnt weigh any more than about 2lbs..so its def more than 1/2 way...thats awesome!!!!!

I get my Protein shooters now from walmart...for whatever reason our Walmart has suddenly started carrying them but before that I was getting them from GNC but they're a tad bit more cost wise but ifyou joint GNC thing at the beginning of every month you get storewide discounts!!

Sounds like Jason that this fill is doing great for you!! I cant eat bread anymore either...no biggie though! I am loving the fact that everytime I get on the scale (remeber I weigh everyday) Im losing more and more...its a great feeling....

      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.
