I hit it! My mouth literally dropped open when I stepped on the scale...199! I admit to being an obsessive weigher (trying to work on it) and I have been watching my scale bounce all over the place these last six weeks. I didn't really think I was in a plataeu, because I have not been perfect with my diet. I have however, been exercising well. All of the sudden I had a 3 pound drop out of no-where that took me below 200 for the first time in a LOOONNNGG time. My newest band observation is that while I have certainly not been perfect with my food choices, I do eat a LOT less than I used to. For instance, I have eaten a donut (not the whole box), 2 pieces of pizza for dinner (not 5-7), french fries (steal a few from my kids - not my own size L from McDonalds). I am pretty faithful with my Protein everyday...the things I mentioned are little extras that I felt were keeping me from losing faster (I know they were!) but I just wanted to share my happiness about this goal! I am not perfect...if I were, I wouldn't need this band. I'm OK with that. I really think this is going to work for me...even though I'm not perfect!

      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.
