I had a single incision lap band procedure. I thought I had another infection, which left me out of commission for two weeks prior, so I went to the Doctor. GOOD NEWS>>>> I didn't and the Doctors scale said 199. I have officially made it there this afternoon. Now I know how finiky weight can be and that can go up, but I was so thrilled to land there today. My goal was to get there before my Birthday January , 2010.

I don't have much restriction so much of my weight loss is the gym five days a week, pushing myself on the eliptical and really working hard. I am watching my portions and trying to keep fluids up. I feel hungry sometimes but not too often.

I am down 35lbs since starting this proces,

I am down 18lbs since surgery November 2, 2010.

I can not say how wonderful it is. Just waiting for the inches to start melting off.

      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.
