My best friend and I are 9 days post op. We will not be filled until June 27. We may soon find that we are able to eat like two little happy hogs! To keep ourselves on track until those fills, we are joining the challenge!

OK, my scales were down this morning. I'm not even going to count it until tommorow morning. I have to make sure it lasts. I have been stuck for so long I couldn't believe that I showed a loss.

To be continued..............

I've been absolutely horrible this past week. I'm in bandster hell right now waiting for my first fill. My appetite has been ravenous! I have got to get to exercising and watching my portions. Ugghh!! I'm so disappointed in myself right now. I'm afraid to weigh - I have a feeling I've gained.

Leslie, DOn't be so hard on yourslelf. Bandster hell is just that, HELL!!! When I was in bandster hell I remember thinking, "This works for everyone else, but it just isn't working for me. Those fears of this being "another failure" kept creeeping in. Don't entertain those thoughts. It does get better. Much better!! Just keep pressing on. You will reach your goal!!!!

I was supposed to go for a fill tommorow, but they called today and my doc is sick. Bummer. I really think I need another fill.

They don't have anyone else that does fills? That's gotta suck! When was your last fill?

We have an obesity treatment center that does the fills. There are a couple of people that do them there. My doctor also does them in his office, so I guess I can count myself lucky. Were you able to reschedule?

      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.
