Kaninag, great you had a good time on vacation. The band is strange sometimes and seems ro have a mind of it's own (lol). I go on vacation in 8 more days and have decided to cancel my fill apointment for Thursday. I don't have the restriction i had 3 weeks ago but i still have some. The best thing for me is while you were gone i got down in the 250's!!! :rolleyes:

Glad everyone had a nice vacation. Looks like this summer will be a lot of staycations for us. Just too hard to get the time and everyone together to go anywhere...

Well I went to the Dr. today because I had another bad stomach ache on Monday night. I just went to see my PCP since I didn't feel that it was a band issue. I explained my symptoms to her and she is 90% sure it is gallstones. She said that this occurs a lot with weightloss patients. So they are gonna call me to set up a time for an ultrasound (they better not find a baby in there JK). I hope they can find out for sure why I keep having these episodes.

The cool news is, when I weighed I was down 6lbs from my last visit. I am so used to them having to add weight to the scale and this time they kept going down. When she told me 186 - I was like "NO WAY! Your scale has to be wrong!" she looked and gave me "I hear that all the time" look and then I told her it was too low and that surprised her even more! She assured me that they were new scales and they were right...LOL At least it made my appt a little better!

Yeah had a great time today. I think Zach is going to try and get one of his friends who really needs some type of gastric surgery to come one month. It may be a while before I see you all again...IF I get to come to the August meeting it may be my last one this year. I am looking at moving to work weekends so that I can finish school in december. SO if I have to miss the meetings keep me upday but I will def try to make the walk!!! KEEP up the great work everybody!!!!

      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.
