I'm a married guy in his 50's from Delaware, but I was told the pre-op diet was to shrink the liver so it is less likely to be cut accidentally during surgery !! My Dr. even said that he would not do my surgery if I didn't follow that diet to the T . He said he has woke patients up before because the liver needed to shrink more, I didn't want to be woke up, so I followed the diet !!!!!

Add fruit , fresh or frozen, helps a lot. Just count the calories. Worked for me !!!!

Had that happen to me in April, did a really big fill,1.6 cc, didn't feel any water restriction while doing the fill. The next day I couldn't eat anything without throwing it back up. Had .8 taken back out and did fine till about 2 weeks ago. Just had .6 put back in today and I finally feel full again.

I feel you, I have been having crazy food cravings for about 3 weeks. It is like it is controlling me, I am picking all day, I can't get that full feeling. This is worse than quitting drinking !!!!!! Going to talk to Dr. tomorrow and maybe a lil fill.

I like oatmeal with crazins, also we have WAWA stores where I live and there breakfast burritos and bowls are very good. I am half full in my band and the burrito still works if I eat slow ! LOL

I put fresh fruit and frozen fruit in mine. It made the Whey protein and skim milk palatable. Just count the calories, I put ice in it when I used fresh fruit and it made a great smoothie !!!! Hope this helps !

I went to the New Balance store in my town, I didn't realize I needed a 4x shoe but I' ve always had wide feet. They feel great and the people at the store were very knowledgeable.

I have made 1 year and am happy with my success. I have lost 70 so far. I feel so much better and I have went down 4 pants sizes and back in XL shirts . My blood work has been great and still working on my BP. Joined a gym a couple weeks ago and have been trying to get back into that swing. LOL ! My wife is now in the process of doing it also !!!
