Still no movement for me, scheduled another fill for 12/1, hopefully that will get me moving again. Good job by everyone though, keep going as you are providing me with the inspiration I need!

Hi Guys Feeling pretty good about things right now. Went to see the Shrink today stepped on his scales lost another 4 lbs (that brings me to 285). He likes to see his patients loose 3% body weight or more be for surgery and I have lost 8% that I have done my part to get ready. Tomorrow I will just be another guy with the Band working on getting Healthy and Skinny.

See you on the other side

Awesome, goat! I'm still holding @302. I think the scales are starting to swing, though.....adding in some walking on the treadmill, of all things seems to be very effective for me.

So Old Goat, by now you have joined the ranks or as I write this you are on the table getting it done, either way my heartfelt congratulations on the first step of your journey!

Nothing gained, nothing lost. Holding at 254 (which is pretty weird, I think - I usually fluctuate quite a bit). Oh well. Patiently waiting for 240's...

Hi Guys: Feeling pretty good again just returned from the Doctors, staple removal day and the official scales. Pat on the back dropped another 10lbs down to 275lbs and start solid food today. You remember cottage cheese, string cheese, a little deli Turkey.:)

254...AGAIN ! Think I have to shake it up a bit. I actually lost like 4 ounces, but it has been a while on the 254 handle. Did make it through Thanksgiving and some work related travel without gaining - I'll try a little extra before Christmas comes to move the scale a bit...

Hi Guys: Well I dropped the two pounds that I gained and quite a few more Sunday weighed in at 266. Thats a 9 pound loss from 11/26/08 think I'm still on the just banded Honeymoon.

Remember to watch out for Xmas foods, and surly you wont let a 70 year old goat bet you in the race to good health?:wink:

Down to 295 for me, finally have the kind of restriction I needed and am moving downward once again. What has happened to Fenton? He was one of the starters here and no word from him, anybody know?

Old Goat here on the go down another 5 pounds off in the last two weeks. Man have I been starving but had my first fill on 12-16 2.5 cc and another on 12-23 2 cc for a total of 4.5 cc. Still on liquids and mushes so not sure if it will help the hunger. Guys have a Merry Christmas and a Merry New Year

      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.
