Hi. I was banded on 11/8/07. I'm going to try and read everyone's posts, so I can get a clue as to what everyone is doing and feeling. As for me, I'm 30, in KC, and have a 10cc band, w/only 2.25cc's in it so far. I've not had much luck keeping the fills in. Is anyone burping still -all the time??

What do you have to do to join the Nov Nymphs? Is it an exclusive club? Or do you just have to have been banded in Nov? So curious for support.

Thanks!!

You found the right place, Huskerette! Being banded in Nov. '07 is all you need. You are doing amazing with only 2.25cc in your band! Looks like you are more than halfway to goal. If you have trouble with fills and are losing at a good rate, then maybe you're tight enough. A few people who use my doc never get fills at all. Sometimes the band is tight enough as is. Anyway as I said on the Meltdown thread, welcome and glad you found your peeps! :biggrin2:

Welcome Huskerette. I was banded on 1 November 07 and have lost 35 lbs so far. I have a 10cc band with 9ccs in it. Unfortunately for some reason I still haven't found restriction so I am going for a barium meal / swallow this Thursday to test my band. I don't have any other symptoms so it just might be that I am one of those people who need to go to the full extent. Anyway, you look like you're doing really well. As Cindy said, the November Nymphs are a great bunch of people and very supportive. Look forward to chatting with you.

Hey Huskerette,

We are a very non-exclusive club. Welcome in. I assume you'll be sending the normal initiation fee out to all Nymphs ;o) (kidding).

Put your numbers in our Nymphs Weight Loss to Date thread. YOU will put us over the one ton loss mark!!! Go nymphs!!!

Oh, I have about 3 ccs in a 10 cc band (not sure how much they put in during surgery....)

Hollyberries - what the heck - when did your BMI get below mine?!?!? It's on now!!!!

Hollyberries - don't forget me from Canada! (although I live in the States now)

Huskerette - I read on another post you're full-time student and worker so don't you even try to read all the posts here with all the work you're doing! You take care of yourself and just join right in. I totally agree this is the "best friggin support group in the world!!" (In case you haven't noticed Hollyberries is everyone's all-round cheerleader and supporter!)

Thanks. I don't actually start school until 8/18. But I'm studying ahead of time, cuz I'm not all that smart. Smart enough to get the band though!!!!!

Anywho, I get a fill 7/3 at 10 am. I'm so excited & nervous. Hope u have a great 4th.

Thanks everyone for your support.

      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.
