I had my surgery date 12/18/10, i got my first fill 2/16/10. I had lost 43 pounds, i gained 5 pounds back by drinking 1200 calories and day and not knowing it for. Now im back on track but it feels like i'm starting to feel down on myself. It feels like its taking to long . I seee where some poeple have lost way more weight then me . Ive just had my 3rd fill. Should i have lost more or be losing more?

You are being too hard on yourself. I am 9 months out and have just lost 60 lbs so you are doing good. Hang in there and remember it is a slow process.

Hi there,

I have been banded over 15 months and have the most important bit of advice I can possibly give....Whatever you do..

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS!!!!! (don't mean to shout..just sooo important!)

I did this at the beginning of my journey and totally sabotaged myself for over 5 MONTHS!!!!!

Once I focused on MY success and nothing else, it changed my entire experience with the Lap Band.

Average weight loss w/the band in 1 year is 52lbs. I didn't hit that number but am TOTALLY THRILLED with my result!! I am not "average" so I don't compare myself to anyone or anything. As long as I'm losing..I"M THRILLED!

Keep in mind, others are bigger or smaller than you, lose or gain differently, different heights, etc. There is NO POSSIBLE benefit of comparing yourself to ANYONE! Focus ONLY on YOU and you WILL SUCCEED!!!!

      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.
