Sorry to report that I have gained 4 lbs. I had a fill on Nov. 17, 2009 of .4cc. I was to full and couldn't keep anything down. I went back to the doctor on Dec 1. 2009 and was totally unfilled. So now I'm struggling to keep my weight down. I'm schedule to have a fill on Dec.15, 2009. So, my goal now is to not gain anymore weight before my fill. I know I won't reach my goal to lose 20 lbs by xmas. Before this all happen I was 10 lbs from my goal. Congrats to all of you who are marching forward to you goal.

Lingra - please don' t be discouraged. You just have to set a new goal and it appears that you already have. And this is through no fault of your own, so keep your head up - we are all here with and for you - as a matter of fact, I personally think that any weight loss - whether it is goal or not should be celebrated!! Even if it is just one pound!! Cause that is one pound we don't have to carry around any longer.

My prayers and thoughts are with you!!:thumbup:

The hardest for me will to be at daughters 10 days over Christmas don't do well away from home BUT she is banded too (in May) and we are now both in 16 so... this will help. I have lost 74 lbs total 40+ since surgery 9/23 tried hard before surgery but am so thankful for band off a lot of medicines and looking forward to being off more. God is so good. Happy Birthday Jesus. Blessings to all as they meet their goals. Thanks again Fluffy Already looking forward to Valentines Day. Now there is a challenge look out Victoria Secret.:rolleyes2:.

You are all so wonderfully ambitious to set such goals over the holidays. For me, I hoping not gain any weight between Thanksgiving & Christmas. I know myself too well, and the band won't curb me eating all the holiday goodies/drinks I like. I'm going to have to rely on will power and hopefully moderation. I don't want to push my luck on setting a high goal, as I'll probably wind up binging.

Wishing you all will power and success.

Ditto. I'll consider it a successful holiday season, weight wise, if I don't regain anything I've lost to this point. Bonus if I actually lose, but not setting any goals.

Good luck to all of you!

Just curious, but why would they totall unfill you? Or do you mean they took all of the .4cc back out?

Now down 4.4 lbs. I don't like to weigh in on

Mondays (old WW phobia:)). I had gone in just a few days prior to Thanksgiving to have my band checked to make sure it didn't "slip" during a run of the stomach bug (it hadn't) and didn't have the same restiction afterwards and gained, ugh, not what I wanted. Went for another fill last Wednesday and have now started losing again. I think if I can get close to my goal I will be a very happy camper. Good luck everyone!

To ElfiePoo:

They removed it all because I had been vomiting for almost 2 weeks. They said they want to give my stoma a rest and let the swelling go down from constant vomiting.

      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.
