I was banded on Jan 9th 2009. I started at 213 and now at 182. I have been here for 2 + mths now... I have an appointment on the 30th for a fill, but I am totally ready to start losing again... I only have a 4cc band and I now have 2cc fill... Am I doing ok? :biggrin:

Wow you are not too far from your goal! I wouldn't worry about how you are doing compared to others because everybody loses at different rates. I was losing 2 lbs a week every week and lately it seems i'm losing 2 lbs every other week. It's frustrating! I have such a long way to go!

Congrats to you! Before you know it you will be at your goal weight!

I've got a 4cc band too. I am worried that it will be full before I have lost what I need!

well, I got my fill and it was well worth it... I have 3cc now and I know I have my band... I have trouble eating certain foods now when before I could eat the house... I had only lost 4 lbs in 4 mths, but now I am down a couple more in a couple weeks...I am between 180 and 178 now... I fluctuate alot... my goal is 140 for now... keep up the good work! I think we will be fine...

      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.
