:lost1lbs::thumbup:I did it! I did it! I did it!!:thumbup::thumbs_up:

O.K., with a little help from a tight fill, but...I'm in ONEDERLAND!! And this is a beautiful place to be. The grass is truly greener on this side of the border. To see a "1" instead of a "2" on the scale was an overwhelming relief. These last few days on liquids has been worth it. Who needs to eat? food is so overrated! Actually, I will call the doc if I can't get on mushies in a few more days. I want to wait until I am safely in the lower 190's before I ask for an unfill. I'm not dehydrated. I just need to still sip slowly.

Anyway, getting into Onederland was a major goal however I did it. Can't wait until we are all over the border!! :biggrin2:

Congrats Cindy! You are doing great and onederland must feel great! Don't stay tight to long...I am still tight from May...seems to be getting tighter lately and I might need to get a unfill as well.

I am so happy for you...you deserve it.

Thanks, Cindy! As glad as I am to be in the 100's, I'm getting tired of being too tight to swallow liquids comfortably. It feels as if there's a big gas bubble around the band. Every time I drink something, I feel it. This is how I was a week after surgery. Lots of gas-x strips and it eventually went away. I'm still going to try to wait it out a bit longer. I don't care if I have to stay on soft foods for a while. That would be welcome after this!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
