Hi All,

Just wondering how people banded around the same time as me are doing.

I was banded on Nov. 16th 09. I have lost 88.5 pounds as of Sunday, bringing me to 128.5 My goal is between 110 and 115 (I am only 4'11"). I hope to achieve that by my 1 year mark.

I workout about 4 days a week with cardio and 3 days a week with my trainer on weights.

Weight loss has sure slowed down. I lost a total of 3 pounds in the last month. I know it's to be expected but still not fun. I know if I up the cardio that will help.

Look forward to reading updates.

Hi there.... I was banded on Nov. 17th, 2009... It has been a great journey so far.... I am down 92 pounds with my goal in sight. :smile2:

I have had 5 fills so far, with the last one almost 2 months ago. I think i am around 6.5cc in my 10cc band. Some days I am at my sweet spot and some days I can eat more than a cup at one time. Not sure when I will schedule my next fill, I have always just scheduled them based on how feel I am doing in my journey at that time.

Best wishes to everyone!!!!!!!!:smile:

Hello all-I was banded Nov 18th> I have been working out about 2 hours a day, mixing weights and cardio. I have my appointment comin up on tuesday and I expect to be right at 100 pounds, I want the 'OFFICIAL' weigh in. I have not had an adjustment as yet and I have noticed my loss has slowed down lately so I have increased my cardio and started tracking my intake again. 30 pounds to goal!!

Congrats to all:thumbup:

Hello,

I was banded November 3, 2009 and am down 96 lbs. My weight loss has slowed, but I'm content. Trying to find more time in my busy schedule to do more exercise. I use to walk about 4 to 5 days a week, but since it is so darn hot, I had to let that go. I have about 54 more lbs to loose before I am at my goal.

      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.
