Hello 2Fly. Congratulations! I really would like to know your secret. Do you weigh and measure your food? Do you exercise? Are you at restriction with your fills? How many fills do you have? I have already reached a plateau after only 6 weeks post op. I exercise, I do not eat as much although I do not have restriction. Any advice will be appreciated.

wow- way to go. I have followed your weightloss pictures for a while now and am really impressed and can't wait to be so excited. I have read some of your previous posts and can answer some of the previous posters questions because I have been so inspired by you!!! I know that 2FlyGuys measures every single meal in a 1/2 C glad bowl- those plastic disposible ones that you can use over and over. She concentrates on Protein and it keeps her full for 4-5 hours- she eats three times a day. Also- she works her butt off and runs 2 miles and power walks 4 miles- I don't know how often but I betcha it is close to 7 days a week. I think she was pretty structured from the minute she had her band and has been working hard for 9 months- not sure about when she felt she reached restriction or how many cc's she has or how big a band BUT I think she accomplished quite a bit on sheer willpower!!! You look great and thanks for sharing and providing some much needed motivation!!!!

      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.
