You all are doing great :)

I hit 50 # lost today. I'm with you sandiegokate the band is great!!!

I told my Mom I had lost 50#. And she said how great it was but she hoped I didn't gain it back.

I could confidently say I know I won't and I know I will keep losing. What a wonderful feeling.

Good journey all,

MaggieGT

You have done an amazing job. I was banded in Aug and still haven't lost 30 pounds. What are you doing, for the last month I haven't lost anything. I was unable to exercise because of back problems. Hopefully this month I will do better. I only have 40 something pounds to get off. Please send me what you are doing I need to try something else. I go back to doc tomorrow and afraid of what he may say.

I am so happy for you. I love my band. If you let it work it will. It was warm and sunny here in Oklahoma yesterday, so I pulled out the capri's and flip flops. Went to the closet I put on the smallest capri's I could find, when I walked they fell to my ankles. I was so so HAPPY. I really felt like I have done it. Just want to do it better on my next 60lbs. Congrats everyone.

Gratz to you and everybody else on your 6 months out!

It's not even been a year and it feels like I've had this forever. In a good way though!

Best of luck to you all for the next 6 months!

Last time I went to doctor they took out .3cc because I couldn't eat salads, chicken,etc..

Went back this week and I had gained. It was kind of nice to have a breather from it and eat more variety but I was too hungry and ate too much.:sad:

The PA put back .2cc and today I'm not hungry at all. :wub:

So I'm excited. I'm on liquids then mushes so don't know if what I will be able to eat later.

Glad to be back on my journey,

Maggie

Hi I have a question I have been having more diff. eating lately. not sure if I'm just going to fast or not chewing good enough or could I be to tight?? Somtimes I have no problem but lately soon after my first or second bite I need to stand up and move around tonight I think maybe I ate to fast but have been really uncomfortable and coughing up alot of froth. Is this happening to anyone else? Other than this I love the band and losing at a good rate.

      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.
