I'm in! I was banded on 10/1 and the weight loss has started slowing down. I've lost 21 since surgery and want to lose 16 more by Christmas. Totally doable!

Ok so I will give this a try. After yesterday's appointment I am officially stalled out! No wieght loss in 4 weeks. She checked my food journal and it looks like I am only eating about 50% of what I should be. So new eating plan and a new set of directions. Basically I am supposed to eat double what I have been. I will try and we shall see! So I wanted to be in Onderlad by Jan 1, and though I am doubtful that will happen, I am still willing to try.

I won't be banded until the 8th of December, but I would love to get in on this.

I'd like to lose 10lbs by the end of the challenge.

(I'm setting the bar low for me as I have a really bad problem with beating myself up if I don't get to where I wanted to be, lol.)

good luck everyone!

      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.
