:Bunny :Bunny :Bunny I'm with you, Alexandra! Me too! 3 Christmases and I've only lost and never denied myself at all. Awesome!! I only lost 14 lbs last year. :P but isn't that better than putting it back on? Absolutely!! I have set a goal for myself this year. Only 20lbs, if I can hit, I'm still headed in the right direction. If I pass it, HOORAY![/quote

Just curious, when were you banded? Yes, losing is always better than putting it on. I just thought the loss would be more than 14 lbs in one year. I guess it is harder when you get down closer to your goal weight, I am not banded but I am working towards it.

Leatha's had three banded Christmases, so she was banded some time in 2003 like I was. I haven't stopped to calculate, but in 2005 I lost, um, about 20-25 lbs. It does slow down as you get lighter--makes sense, since you need fewer and fewer calories to sustain you as you lose weight.

Hey, I'll take a 20-lb loss in ANY year over a 20-lb gain. And THAT'S where I would have been without my little silicone buddy. :P

CONGRATS ALEX!!!!! that is a MAJOR GOAL!!!

i am proud to say i share it!!!! i weighed 11-12-05 the EXACT same as i weigh today! and let me tell you i ENDULGED!!! i didnt have a cookie free day for 1 whole month! i really endulged at times and i evened it out by eating really healthy at others!

i would have probably gained a solid 10 lbs through the holidays without my band and some will power!

i too hope this year brings me below 200 as well!

Congratulations Alexandra

I know you don't often set goals exept to be healthy and happy.

You Go Girl

Yes I can add....the C's...cookies, chocolate, cheesecake and crab(not in that order) almost everyday for 3 weeks and not a pound of weight.

With this great tool you can only eat so much, a nibble, thin slice, a bite and be satisfied!

Last year with my leaky band I was gaining but not this year. I can only eat so much.

I'd be happy to just stay here.

Good luck!! I know you can do this

      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?

      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.
