I had my surgery on 11-11-08, I have lost 30 pounds. I have had 3 fills for a total of 4cc's in my 10cc band. I am starting to get a little frustrated by my own food choices. Best of luck to you.

Wow you both sound like you are doing well. Remember its about 10 pounds a month and you are both at about that. So good job.

Looks as though your journey has been interupted. Hope all goes well for you

I was banded on November 4th. I just had my 3rd fill on Monday (2/23). As of this morning ( I only weigh in once a week ), I've lost 42 lbs. This last fill seems to have given me the right restriction, but I've pb'ed 3 times since. I can't eat wraps anymore and no cutlet type meats :-(. Oh well...it's just trial and error. I work out at the Y at least 4 times a week with my husband. He loves the energy I have now. Even my 6 year old compliments me. I absolutely love the compliments. On November 4th, I weighed 269, now I'm 227. I now weigh less than I have in 10 years!!! Good bye Lane Bryant!!!

I had surgery 11/11/08 and I'm done almost 50 lbs! The first 2 months were very easy and the last month or so has been more of a struggle with food choices & amount of food.I do have restriction because if I eat to fast I will PB.But other times I amaze myself of how much I can eat? I see the surgeon in 2 weeks so I'll see then what she recommend's.I have a total of 4 cc's.Best luck to everyone!!:wink:

      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.
