Thanks, Charlene.

I had one hell of a drive home today. I left the office at 5:00 (work in the Galleria area) and I didn't get home until 9:00. I live in Fall Creek (a new subdivision located a Beltway 8 and 59 North). All the exit ramps were flooded, I had to wait it out in parking lots. I was very stressed out which may be why my band feels so retricted. I was soooooo hungry when I got home but I couldn't eat anything comfortably, not even mush. Even liquid is pausing before going down. I had a .5 cc fill yesterday so maybe it's finally kicking in or maybe it's the fill AND the stress. Anyway, I wanted more restriction and I have it but I want to be able to eat, too.

Well, maybe I'll lose another couple of pounds this week.

I'm having such terrible acidy stomach problems. I don't have reflux, but I have extremely overactive acid pumps and I've had so much stomach pain in the last two weeks; I think I'm going to ask if I can have an unfill today to maybe help facilitate some healing. I have mixed feelings because I don't yet have restriction and was hoping that I'd feel some with my next fill. On the other hand I don't have restriction now and I'm losing at a comfortable rate so taking the Fluid out of my band wouldn't change much.

I am taking a quadruple dose of Prilosec and have felt no improvement. I hope that the doctor has some kind of solution that can control this ongoing problem. I've always had an overly acid stomach, but I've never felt so much discomfort.

I have noticed that anxiety and stress seems to make the band tighter. When I PB'd the other day I had just brought in alot of heavy sacks from the grocery store. I sat down and ate a Lean Cuisine of fish. Two bites into it and it was stuck.....lasted for an hour. I usually eat the whole Lean Cuisine without a problem. So, maybe rushing around, lifting, and being stressed does have an effect on the band. And flooded Houston streets during rush hour is STRESS!:D

      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.
