My BMI is under 40 (38)

I have lost 67 pounds

I have lost 39% of my excess body weight

I have dropped 2 clothing sizes

Look your half way there!!!!

Well I don't know if I am half way there or not. It's just a starting point for me. I know what size clothes I want to be able to wear and when I get to that weight I will happy. However I know I will need to at least loss down to there to make it reachable. This is how much I wanted to loss in a year...I need to get my butt in gear and get the rest off me. :rolleyes:

Thanks Dianne you are so sweet!!!

I think I've got this figured out now. *tongue in cheek* It's like the new crack, right? All these people hanging out saying, "I need a fill, man" LOL

On the serious side, Kim, you've got it headed in the right direction and Angie, 40 ain't nothin' to sniff at. Here's hoping you achieve your dream and more.

Thanks everyone...I never thought 6 months out I would feel this good and for the first time I can say I actually can see the difference. I have alot of people at work who don't know I had it done and they are asking me what I am doing and that I look great. That realy helps also.

Angie you are doing awsome to girl...50+ in just under 6 months with no fill is something to proud about. Your are truly brain banded as well as being banded.

Hang in there Melissa...don't give up. Something that has really helped me was my food journal. I know it's a pain in the rear I guess that's why I have kind of gotten away from it, but it is so worth it. Note to self....start journal back.

This place is just the best!!!!

      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.
