I was banded in TJ January 21,2005 by Dr.Juan Lopez Corvala. To date I have lost 75 pounds although it has been quite slow lately. I have been attending curves for one month and things are looking up in appearence , but then muscle weighs more than fat. But I must confess I am haveing a problem with sugar cravings.:)

Welcome to LBT. I too was banded by Dr. Lopez in April of 2004. I have lost anywhere from 65 to 70 lbs. I am a slow loser. I have lost somewhere between 30 and 35 inches off my body. THat is an awesome accomplishment I think.

Yes, Muscle does weigh more than fat. Good luck on your struggles and post often. Lots here to read and catch up on.

congratulations on your weight loss. To lose 75 pounds seems so out of the question for me right now-i am having a hard time envisioning myself out of the fat clothes!

Another Lopez patient here. Still currently portless & have gained 9 pounds of lard back. I feel gross even though I'm still down 65 lbs. I'm eating raw veggies for Breakfast though. There's always a fresh start behind every sunset.

      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.
