hello all again.... hmm now lets see what has been going on.. im now down to 100kgs from 128kgs but ive been stuck on 100kgs for a while now and it dosnt want to budge so it is a little frustrating. I have 5 1/2 mils now in my 10 ml band. A friend of mine had lost 60kgs in 1 yr with the band and i feel like im failing because it dosnt look like i will be losing that amount..

anyway IM ENGAGED! yay my darling bf proposed to me on the 5th of Jan .. such a gorgeouse ring ahh!... but its in at the moment getting resized so wont get it back for a week :sifone:

i have a question about being pregnant with the band.. so u have to get the band unfilled ?

for the record no im not pregnant.. as far as i know :)

congrats on the loss...you must be feeling better! I see Kevin Dolan too! He's great! I think when you get pregnant you have most of the fill taken out because Kevin doesn't want to be responsible for "malnutritioned babies". I heard this from a girl who just had a baby with band in and she was back to get some fill in.

when i was pregnant with my daughter i started out weighing 85kgs and then went up to 115kgs at full term, if my band was completely unfill id be scared to have such a huge weight gain again. I was so sick 24/7 for the 1st 3 months of my pregnancy and hardly gained any weight but once i felt better and able to eat its like my body stored all this fat after not eating really anything for so long.

im just scared of undoing all this work

      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.
