I am at the 6 month point as of today. Things have gone really well. Restriction has come and gone, but I have been able to ride the waves of hunger. I still vomit once in a while, and am starving other times. Go figure.

I am off all of my weight related meds (high cholesterol, blood pressure and diebetes). I have lost 73.5 pounds. I started at 217. My goal used to be 120 (I am only 4'11) but now I think I want to go a little lower- maybe 110. We'll see as it gets closer I guess. Was hoping to reach goal in a year, and that seems to be very doable.

Well- hope everyone out there is doing well. Just wanted to share. I love my band!

      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.
