I would like a challenge to lose at least 10 pounds by valentines day. I have been stalled on weight lost, so I think 10 #s is reasonable. I'm in:thumbup:.

I have been banded for 2 weeks as of yesterday and I can all ready say that it is the best thing I have ever done in my life! I weighed in at surgery at 290 and as of this morning i weighed 276. I have a goal of 250 by Valentines Day. I have not weighed 250 since I was in 9th grade!

I'm in! I am currently at 220. I would like to be under 200 by Valentine's day, but I have been stalling a bit lately so I'll go with 12lbs which would put me at 208.

I'd like to do the challange as well. I just got banded about 2 weeks ago and as of my follow-up appointment yesterday, I've lost 20 lbs. Though I know the rate of my weightloss will slow, I'd like to get out the 300's by then. So for me, another 31 lbs would be great. 299lbs by the 2/14 is my goal.

I too would like to join the Valentine's Day challenge. I would like to lose 20 lb by then but it is probably more realistic to say I will lose 15 1b.

I am up for the challenge even though I was just banded on Monday. I want to stay focused and enjoy the encouragement and support of the group. Ten pounds sounds good to me.

OK I'm in! :)

Never done a challenge before, so let's see.....6 weeks till Valentines Day, so I'll say 12 pounds. I was banded 12/14 and am regular food now, so my loss is really slowing down. So that would put me at 209 on Valentines Day.

      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.
