Hi Gingerbug, I have lost 15kilos which I think converts to 33lbs in 15 weeks. I think I am a slow loser but am happy it is coming off. I am walking the dog and using the treadmill and sometimes the eliptical walker so it should be moving. It's good to see the scales going down for the first time in years. Feeling better than I have for years. Hope every one else is going great.

I am doing well, been making it to the gym regularily. Seriously, I was HURTING for several days after my first round of weight lifting. Feeling better today and thinking I might go for the arm weights again tomorrow. DH has been gone since two weeks after the surgery. He is a commercial diver and has been on a job out of the country since the middle of January. He will be home end of this week! I have been hush hush about the success of the band so I hope he manages to notice. LOL, that would be a man for you to not mention anything. I have had 4 fills total and am at 6 or so cc's in my 10 cc band. Currently, this level is working out really well for me.

Gingerbug, most husbands don't notice things but he will have to notice that amount of weight off. I had 6mls already in my band and have had 2 fills and now have 7 1/2 mls. I feel like I could do with a tiny bit more but I am still losing and can eat anything with no problem. I like the fact that I can go to a BBQ or something and eat meat and no-one knows that I have been done. I hate the thought of PB'ing in public. Thank goodness I haven't done that either at home or out,(yet). Keep up the weights. You are doing great.

Ginger whats your secret? You and I started at basically the same weight I have lost about 26 pounds now and I am at 6.6cc's in a 10cc band. Are you low carbing it? That's what I am going to try now is to cut out a lot of the carbs because I am losing so slow. Plus I work out with a trainer twice a week. Great job by the way!!!

      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.
