Hey everyone. Just wanted to say i was banded 4-4-08 and im down 36 pounds. I had to get an unfill today though because i wasnt keeping anything down and couldnt even drink Water. I will go back on the 6th and i will see if im ready to get another fill. I now have 3 cc in a 10cc band. So far so good! ( Well except for the past 3 days...LOL and they sucked)!!!

Good luck to all, we can all do this.

Hi guys, this is formerly "Countingthedays" I changed my login name to just my first name since I am no longer counting down the days till surgery. My surgery was done 4/17 & I have lost almost 30lbs since then. I have gone down 2 bra sizes, from a 22/24 pant size to an 18/20 (almost 16's a little snug but almost there!!) & from a 3X shirt to just an XL, I can wear my moms shirts & my sons!! My biggest victory though is my diabetes meds. I was on 4 glyburide a day & now I am down to only half a pill a day at bedtime. 2 more weeks & I go back to the endocrinologist & hopefully I will be able to stop the diabetes meds all together!!

My weight loss has pretty much stopped this last week or so since starting solids, but I go for my first fill in 2 days. I am so psyched about this whole process!!

I haven't checked the April threads in quite awhile...oops!! Anyway, on the 23rd(my one month mark) I was down 17lbs. My first fill ws yesterday, 4cc in a 9cc Realize band. I am feeling great and was surprised and amazed at how easy and painless the fill was. I am working with a personal trainer at the gym and feeling very motivated. Good job everyone!!

Hi all!

i hit my one month on the 29th. I've been feeling great the last 2 weeks and I've lost a total of 15 lbs, although I have been at the same weight for the past 10-12 days. i'm hoping that my plateau will end soon, i've been experimenting with different foods to see what I can tolerate. I had a problem at 2 1/2 weeks with a piece of "stuck" food, something I never want to go through again, and it has made me very cautious eating anything that might swell up in my little stomach.

my NSV of the month: i've lost most of my "butt shelf"!!

      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.
