I am a lurker. Alot of times I don't have time to post or anything more to add to some posts but I do like to see how others are doing and I can usually find answers to any questions I have & love to help out when I can as well.

Yeah, count me in too. I am a lurker from Oz. Always reading this Feb 08 thread but never quite know what to say! I was banded late in the month so you had all excellent advice for me when I went in!

I'm delurking too. banded 2-12 and hungry as all get out. 2nd fill on this coming Friday and I know there isn't much hope of restriction more than a couple of days, but I will continue to hope. Have lost no weight since my 1st fill, but haven't gained anything either. I read pretty faithfully and am keeping tabs on all my band sisters.

Hi Kylie,

I was also banded on the 22-02-08 and I have lost 11kgs also, was 90kg now 79kg doctors goal is 67kg mine is 60kg. I am supposed to have my first fill tomorrow but i ended up in hospital a couple of weeks ago and doctor had to empty my stomach so he said he doesnt know if he will do my first fill. I hope he does will let you know tomorrow.

      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.
