:thumbup: Are there any Northern Californina people out there? There are many LB's done here yet. I have lost 20 lbs so far and love it. It would be great to hear from someone around here! Have a great day!

I go to Kaiser Richmond too. I live about 10 mins from there.

My Dr s name is Arron Baggs . He gave me my second fill.

Has anyone else gotten a big bruise from there fill ? I sure did I still have the black and blue bruise from last week. The problem is that I have been chewing my butt off but I still am getting stuck almost every day I have to PB almost every time I eat. I also have days that I can eat almost anything just fine. But once I get stuck that means I cant eat or drink much all day. But the upside is that I am dropping weight. I may need a lil unfill but I don't want too because I am finally dropping the pounds. I have been banded for 4 1/2 months. The thing is that I only have about 60 pounds to lose but my sis has about 180 pounds to lose and she has already lost 50 or 60 pounds she got banded a month before me. I have only lost about 12 pounds.And that was because of my diet post band.

      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.
