I know, I need to get back on the ball. I'm afraid to get another fill because I feel pretty restricted already, so I need to do something. I have started exercising, so we'll see how that works out.

Thanks Jay! I did get my 4th feel on Tuesday and man I already fill quite a difference. I can already tell that I am tight...remarkable what 1 cc can do. I am now up to 6.4ccs...so we will see. I for sure have to take smaller sips now...we will see how the food goes down once I am off the 3 days of liquids.< /p>

I've only had 2 fills, but I'm at 1.75cc and I'm plenty restricted. Maybe too much, as I only eat about 900-1000 calories a day, and I burn off 500-600 of those at night. My weight loss was great right after the last fill on 1/17, but has now managed to slow, then stop. I defintely don't need another fill, but I may need to play with my calories and up them some.

I have my next fill scheduled for 2/13. I know I needed to do something. I lost then gained back the same 2 lbs, so now I've been at the same weight since the 2nd week in Jan.

I'm going to throw my scale out. I've gained and lost the same 2 pounds now for 2 weeks, and I know that I have been ultra-good :target:

I just ordered a Tanita scale. If it says the same thing, well - ok, but I hate getting on the scale and not seeing it budge from 258 when I am doing everything right. I'm so frustrated.

I really wanted to hit my first goal by my birthday next week, but that's not gonna happen. At least, not according to THIS scale.

I am the most thankful person ever!!!:puke: I am now officially 1/2 way to my goal. I would have never, ever lost this much weight on my own. It's amazing the changes that I've been going through...

Lapbandtalk has been a wonderful place for support. I am blessed.

Thanks, Shawn

      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.
