Well I probably won't remember to come on here on my bandiversary, which is Aug. 12th, so I'll go ahead and report now. I am now at 232, down from 278! I've lost a total of 46 lbs, and am steadily losing about a pound a week. The first six months were really tough, I didn't lose any weight and actually gained a little I think. I finally met the right amount of restriction and have been working really hard to eat better. I'm also FINALLY, but slowly incorporating exercise.

I really thought a year from surgery I would have lost twice as much weight as I have now, but I am still proud of where I am. I think that if I had started eating right from the beginning and if my fill-doctor was closer I would be closer to goal. However, I really can't complain. I will get there!

Hope everyone else is doing well! Btw Triplet... AMAZING! You now weigh less than me, and started out like 100 lbs heavier. You go!!!!!!!!!

      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.
