Just wondering how everyone was doing? I haven't been around for a while so I may have missed you and any recent topics.

I had some more fill last week and am definately feeling good restriction now. Finally I am only eating small portions and not needing anything else.

My wardrobe has suffered a major mass exodus and I am in constant rotation of 2 pair jeans, pair trackies and about 4 tops. I dont want to buy clothes, but am sick totally sick of the clothes I am wearing.

hope everyone is well and crusing along with their band.

ciao tutti

Hey Megsy, sounds like you are going great! I am almost there with my fills... Going in next Friday to get a touch more added. Sitting at 5.8ml now and have pretty good restriction, but could be better and also still needing to eat between meals.

I know how you feel with the clothes, but I love it at the same time! I bought some new jeans on the weekend, size 18 down from a 22-24 before the op. All my other jeans kept falling down or were so baggy they looked terrible!

Haven't really been noticing a massive difference on the scales, but my clothes and measurements tell a different story, so very happy with how I'm tracking at the moment.

Whereabouts in Melboune are you. I go to a monthly support group in Werribee and they always have a clothes swap. Its a good way of finding things that fit without having to fork out a fortune.

      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.
