Wow glad I read.

Hi guys

I haven't posted or browsed the forum for a while and I'm sure glad I did.

I was wondering why my band wasn't working and frustrated that I had gained 2lbs.

Now after reading other posts I see its not only me and that I had started slipping back into old eating patterns namely grazing.

I have had a 3rd fill ( total 3cc in 4cc band) and now I back on the wagon.

I'm so proud of the weight losses of the FEBsters.

I think we all agree it's a work in progress!! Some days are better than others. For me personally, I have loved having this band as a tool. I stay on track during the week and allow myself to enjoy what I want (within reason) on the weekends. Having proper restriction is KEY. I just reached that a few weeks ago and it's made a big difference. Congratulations on your success so far (especially being in ONDERLAND). And as us Double V's have come to adopt our little mantra..."JUST KEEP SWIMMING"!!

That is great! Never lose faith in yourself. I sometimes feel like every pound is such a struggle and other times I feel like this is just too damn easy. Never a dull moment with band life. Glad you are back on track!

Yep. Just Keep Swimming.

Your doing great. Grazer is easy to slip into, but if our wills are strong, it's just as easy to stop. Keep up the great 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.
