I was banded 11 months ago on 12/9/2010 and have lost 136 lbs. I have 81 lbs to go. I have had 4 fills and I am in the green zone.

The biggest challenge now is that the weight is coming off more slowly.... so I just need to find some patience and take it 10 lbs at a time. :)

WOW !! congrats !! how did you lose so fast ? i was banded dec 13th 2010..wow is all I can say * jaw is on the floor *

thanks so much!

I have no secret.... I just followed my Dr's orders to the letter. I track every morsal I put in my mouth using my phone ap (fatsecret) and stick to 1000 clories per day which because I am eating the right kind of food fills me up quite well. I didnt cheat at all and saw him monthly for weigh ins... Now he is weaning me to every 2 months which scares me a little since I still have 80 lbs to go.... but I will just keep doing what I am supposed to.

I have a question Floridays. Why has your weight loss slowed if you are in the green zone? I have no fills yet, first one is the 11th. So I am just curious about the process. And congrats on your fabulous weight loss! I love this forum. It's so inspiring!

I wish I could tell you a medical reason but the only thing I can think of is that I had so much weight to lose it just came off pretty rapidly. Now that I am with in 80 lbs of my goal its coming off about 1-2 lbs per week instead of 2-3.

I think everyone is different... I am sure you will have great sucess!

Thanks for the congrats... I appreciate it.

      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.
