JT- You look great!!! Congrats on the smaller pants & shirt. I'm so happy for you!

I'm so glad I signed on today. I'm just giddy with joy for my fellow bunnies. You guys inspire me more than you could ever know. I failed my band at first, truly did everything not to help myself. But now I feel like not only can I work it,but that I AM working it! I can't wait to share my results like JT & BG have. Today is good day a really good day!

Thanks agan everyone!! This fill has been great although tryng somtimes but I thinkk I'm going to have a bit (.25-.50) removed at my next appointment. I think this is still going to give me results but allow me to get a little more Water and nutrition.

My endoscopy went great...everything is the right size/working, just mild reflux damage mainly in the esophagus so they have me starting the Nexium again. It's great to know that everything with my band/pouch is great though...after almost a year I was really curious to find out! Pics of my pouch stoma on Friday's blog if you want to be grossed out LOL!

I saw the doc today and got .5 cc unfill I hope I don't regreat this, in the evenings I've been able to eat more this last week. He was very happy that I lost 22 pounds since I'd last seen him about 8 weeks ago. Hopefully this unfill will allow me to get my Water and help me make sure I get my protien in.

Went to Dr. Yesterday. Decided against the .05 unfill. I just want not to be sick. He wasn't concerned that I'm getting in only half my calories. I go back in 6 weeks. Nut did tell me about a Protein called nectar that I think I might like.

Jerseygirl- Hope the calories are going OK, I hear nectar is good.

I've got gallbladder surgery on Monday (single incision...like it matters now that I have the 5 LB scars lol). Off to Ohio for the weekend in a few min. Have a great weekend all!

I too have been struggling with getting enough calories and especially protein- I a m just not hungry! I just bought a sample pack of the nectar Protein from www.smartbodynutrition.com They had a sample pack of I think 14 flavors for like $15 bucks It came to 22 with shipping. I have heard great things about this being mixed with juice or milk or even Water and by far it is the best tasting so I am eager to try it- Should be delivered this weekend.

I like the nectar -- but also am an Unjury fan - chocolate UNJURY with 1/2 frozen banana, milk and flax seed makes a great shake!

      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.
