HAPPY BIRTHDAY more importantly Happy New Life.... I had my surgery 7 days ago and have lost 18.5 lbs. Can you even begab ti imagine how great that feels. Have the best day ever and year to come. Ann

Congrats! Mine is the same day! Im very nervous too.. maining because I dont want to leave my baby because I have to go out of town for it and will be gone for 6 days. I am thankful that I wont be alone though. My dad is the same day and same surgeon. I just start a pre-op liquid diet yesterday and im starting to shake and have no energy. Goodluck with everything and let me know how it goes. Maybe we can compare notes afterwards.

I can kind of relate to your situation. I was also worried that I was not loosing enough after my first fill but some helpful things are to not chew your food so much to make it too mushy because it falls through the band easier causing you to feel hungry sooner. If you must snack between meals try fruits or veggies. I have found sunflower seeds to be a good snack that will curb the hunger in between meals. Also eating more protien in your meals before eating your sides also helps curb the hunger. Eat on a smaller plate to trick your mind into thinking you have a whole plate of food( this has worked really well for me) My dr wanted to become more aggressive with my fills and wanted to do them every two weeks for the first 2months after surgery to help speed the weight loss. Maybe you can ask your dr if you can get the feels every two weeks versus every month or as needed. Hope this helps.
