you know I never really paid any attention to how much they put in back then I just wanted it tight. I had my surgery on October 25th 2007and it seems like a lifetime ago. I can't even remember other than the big clothes I used to wear what it was to be obese...lol...I have lost 165 lbs...went from 360 to 195...size 48-50 waist to a 33-34....definitely worth eeeeevery penny!!!!!glad to hear other people found happiness too!!!

I have been banded since 10/04/07. The first few months I lost about 40Lbs, but since then I haven't lost any more. With over 7cc fill which I needed to get unfill due to acid reflux that was affecting my esophagus. I honestly feel I haven't benefit with the band, instead I have a health problem I didn't have before. :blushing:

      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.
