I am going in next Wednesday for another fill (4th one). I am only down about 30 pounds, but I am down several pant sizes and at least one shirt size! I am on track with exercising every day, so I am hopeful this next little fill will help me not eat quite as much in the evenings.

Amy,

Losing inches is better than losing the weight. You are probably converting fat to muscle!!! Keep it up.:) I don't exercise nearly as much as I used to and still flabby.!!

I wish I could have a fill....it is getting better, though. At least I am losing again. Somedays I can eat everything in sight and still be hungry and other days I can hardly eat Soup so I think I will stay away from fills for a little while longer. I am just so glad to see the scales going down!!! Finally I lost past 30 pounds....Chris--get a fill for me too, k?:tongue:Congratulations to making it to a BMI less than 40. Getting healthy is great!!!!!:)

I'm going in tomorrow for a slight fill. I haven't weighed myself since early August. I wanted my mind to catch up to my body because I was having some serious body image issues. I'm thinking I must have lost something, cause I bought a dress and it was a size 6. Yes, can you believe it. Granted it was one of those stretchy sweater dresses, but I feel good. My restriction is good. It could be better. Wish me well for tomorrow and I will report back with how it went.

I got my fill yesterday. He tried to put in 1cc but I was getting Water stuck so the nurse took out about .5 cc of what he added and I was able to get the Water down. So I think I have about 7.5 cc's in my 10 cc band.

Here's to good restriction! :wink2: (those are Protein shakes, of course :crying:)

I finally understand what good restriction feels like... and it is GREAT! :thumbup: I feel so much more in control of my eating and I have even lost about 5 or 6 lbs since my fill appt. :cursing:

I did start to freak out a little yesterday when I was feeling cold Water going down really slowly, but then I realized that it is that TOM and knew that a lot of others get tighter then, so that helped me calm myself down. :thumbdown:

I fill like I am going backwards. I have had two unfills however I am still loosing weight so I am not complaining. The day I started my pre-op diet I weighed 250 a week later, the day of my surgery, I weighed 240. As of yesterday getting my second unfill I weigh 166. I don't actually plan on loosing any more weight because my weight is 166 but I look like I weigh 20-30 pounds less, mainly because of my height and build.

One of these days I need to learn how to update my ticker or just remove it.

I got 1.5 on September 23 after a 2cc unfill . . . . but I am feeling way too much restriction (can't eat any solids). I am going to go for a slight unfill on 10/14. I went for many, many months with the perfect fill at sweet spot but just started having trouble. I am sure that being pregnant must have something to do with it.

      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.
