I started my pre-op diet on October 7th at 297 lbs, had surgery on Oct 19th and went for my first fill yesterday. When I stepped on those scales, I just wanted to dance and shout! I have lost 52 lbs since October 7th! I received 3.5 cc's (already had 1 cc) and I am on 2 days of full liquids. I feel absolutely great! I'm not even minding the 2 days of liquids. For all of you new bandsters, hang in there. You WILL feel better and stronger every day. I promise! Woo Hoo!

Congratulations! Those are some AWESOME results!

That's awesome! I'm hoping for those type of results 2 months down the road. Right now i'm about at 9 days banded and i'm experiencing hunger . I won't get filled until 12/13.

Before you got your 1st fill did you experience much hunger?

I got very hungry about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks before my first fill. My dietician had already warned me that this would happen, so I knew it was coming. I kept drinking my Water and my G2 Gatorade. I was fine as long as I kept busy, but the idle time was very hard. I was determined to stick to the portion sizes she had instructed me to eat and it has been all worth it. I'm just so excited that I can hardly sit still! I'm feeling restriction (almost like post-op), but they told me I may not feel this way for long. I am already looking forward to stepping on those scales again;)

Ok, i'm at that hungry point... i'm trying to make sure i make good choices.. I just have another week and a half until I get my 1st fill...

AWESOME! Keep it up! I get excited when I see people that are so motivated.

My first fill was 2 days ago. I was so excited and proud that I took off over 30 lbs before my first fill. I was HUNGRY but determined. Just kept telling myself it was not forever and help controling the hunger was on the way!
