Hello all!

I am still in Bandster HELL - going at it on will power alone. I am not losing any weight to my knowledge...I am refuisng to get on the scale right now. I was getting too frustrated with not seeing it move! My clothes feel about the same - I willl let that be the judge for now. I go in on the 15th to get a second fill. I am fortunate that my fills are done through flouro and my surgeon keeps filling until I have restriction (I thought I did for the first fill, as I didn't know what restriction was). I want it to be uber tight. I'm talking "eat 1/2 cup of food and feel stuffed" tight!

Let's keep this thread at the top, it's always fun to see how everyone is doing at the same stage! :biggrin:

Lexy you look marvelous.. Lets hope our next fill will do the trick.. I go for my third fill the 15th..

It is getting harder each day ..In my mind though I keep saying I don't want to hurt my band.. So I stick as best as I can to the routine..

I hate Bandster Hell ...

Hello Everyone,

All is going well now that I had the 1cc removed on 12/22 it was tough going there for a month between 11/24 and 12/24 I was thankful when I had the 1cc removed I can now eat and drink Water which was a struggle- I am loving the -56 pounds I have so much more energy-

this was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made even when things were hard I would never go back to the way I was.

Keep up the good fight my fellow may bansters.

      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.
