Hey Guys!

I know it has been a while, and I apologize for staying away so long. I popped back in to update my ticker, and I've been trying to get through all the posts I've missed. I will write more later, but I just wanted to say hi and let you all know I'm still here.

I've had some ups and downs since I was here last. I lost a lot right after surgery, then plateaued for an eternity it seemed. I just got fill number 3, and I can finally feel good restriction. (Almost too good) I sometimes have a hard time even getting soft stuff to go down, especially in the morning. Since I got this last fill, I finally started losing again. I have so many NSV's and other things to share, but I'll read everyone else's posts first. I hope you all are doing well! I've missed you all!!

Wow! You're doing fantastic. Good to have you back with us. 60 pounds since surgery. And you had surgery the day after I did. I had the same plateau issue you did and I'm getting my third fill on Tuesday. So I'm crossing my fingers that I'll catch up to you soon.

I'm closer to you Lil. Which I think is pretty darn good and I'm happy with what I've lost. It's just never fast enough or enough weight off. LOL I don't know my surgery weight for sure, I either lost 16 or 18 pounds on the two week pre-op diet. So I'm down 42 or 44 pounds since surgery.

Fill for me, I hope, on Tuesday. And it can't come soon enough. I'm feeling some restriction but I can still get an Advil Liquicap down. So.....fill me! Fill me! (Hehe - I feel like Audrey II) :)

Ezma & Lil- Watch out I'm coming up from behind. hehe :biggrin2:

Come on down. Plenty of room here. You can even pass me and I'll try not to be too jealous. :tongue2: Though I intend to keep on going if my body will just let go of the dang fat. Sheesh.

To be fair, we'd really have to calculate percentage of loss. Can't count pounds in a competition if I started at 319 and someone else started at 250. Guess we COULD calculate percentage and see how we rank, though. A little competition might be a good motivator, but I certainly don't want anyone to feel bad if they are struggling!

      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.
