Hi, thanks for the reply, it always helps to talk to someone.....I can honestly say that I was not hungry the first month. I had a fill on June 25 Just 1 cc and I am feeling a little hungry towards the end of the day and I also notice the Slim fast does'nt seem to hold me as long. I go back for another fill on the 25th of this month. I have only lost 2 lbs this week so I guess it will slow down. hey listen 10lbs is nothing to sneeze at.....as long as we are going in right direction hooray for us!!!! I have the same size band as yours. The fills are not bad at all. mine felt no worse than a mosquito bite....Gooooood luck and keep in touch..BEV

Hi Again Bev, Thanks, for your answers. Yes I agree that sharing online does help. I see that were close in age too. I turn 53 on September 27. And I certainly hope I'am restricted by then. No Cake for me! LOL.

I'm hoping when I get my fill mid- July,that I can talk the Dr. into being a little aggresive. we'll see anyways. When did you start your Journey? I started somewhere near the middle of October. So I was hoping for a little more weight off by now. Guess I need patients? HMMM!!!! LOL I could exercize more than the 30-45 min walks that might help? Anyways thanks again I will keep in touch let me know your progree to.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
