Hello fellow Bandsters,

I don't so much count my success with the numbers on the scale, as I do my clothes. The scale may not always move, but the way my clothes fit or don't(OMG! can you imagine now having clothes that are too big for you..it blows my mind). I am a work in progress, so that's why I put current size, not goal size. For the first time in ages, I am actually in jeans that are in style and it makes me feel amazing(and amazing beats depressed anyday)!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's Celebrate our progress!!!!!!!!!!!!

STARTING SIZE... a tight 18/20

CURRENT SIZE..... 10

I FEEL......sexy and modern, did I mention sexy? lol

NEED TO WORK ON....exercising, toning and confidence

I feel ...... sexy, pretty and proud

Need to work on....... I think I'm doing pretty darn good. I try not to snack, or if I do it's something decent, I don't deprive myself so I don't really get cravings, and I exercise 4-5 days a week. I'm losing slower, but still losing, and I'm feeling better than I have since college. I'm active with my kids, have tons of energy and a much more positive attitude--boy I sound really conceited! :thumbup:

Need to work on drinking too soon after eating

I have lost only about 15 pounds was down 20. I have hit a wall. I had 2nd fill and I still feel no restriction. I have not been stuck, or feel like I need to stop eating. I do get full but on more than I think I need to be eating. I get my next fill on the 25th, I hope this will give more restriction.

I am glad you like the thread. I am enjoying reading about everybody's progress & stats.

I was just thinking that in the past I have never willingly shared my real size. How empowering to be able to do it for the first time and in such esteemed company. Thank you!

Samantha

      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.
