Am I excited too soon??

[Soon2besexynslim 1]

I was so freaked out readIng all the people that struggled on the liquid diet. Day one down & I am so proud of myself. I rocked it! I got hungry two times but ate some more broth & drank a Protein Shake. I'm so motivated to start this new chapter in my life!

I hope I don't hit a wall & struggle in a few days, has this happen to anyone else? You start off great then struggle??

It's great that you are excited as it is an awesome losing weight tool to have the lapband. I had my surgery on 11/11/08 and I have lost 98 pounds, I have hit this plateau for a few months, I just need to get motiviated to exercise and lose some more. I would do it all over again as it is soooo worth it!

With the exception of day 2, I did fine. I wouldn't call it enjoyable but it was deffinitly doable. It will go by fast. Tommorrow is my last day!

It looks like razberry had surgery 11/08 so that was more than 2 years ago.. So I would think that someone should lose that much in 2 years no?

I am curious what most people's cc's are in their band where they get to the point where the feel "restricted" ..does anyone know?

I am on day 6 right now and to be honest day one was okay but then again i didn't have the Protein Shakes till day 2 so at night time of day one i was a bit hungry. Once i had the shakes it became a lot easier. The shakes keep me full for a few hours but i get sick of making them and drinking them 3 times a day. I wish i could just make a big batch and leave it in the fridge. I found the broths to be a life saver. They are my key to sanity. Be sure to get a variety as it will help a lot!! I Also chew on popsicle sticks, toothpicks and gum to help me overcome the fact that i'm not chewing any of my meals. Also to try and force myself to eat slower i heat my broths up so they are really hot and drink them from a to-go mug so i sip them for about 20 minutes before i finish it. I have been trying to drink slowly but i usually take the shakes down quick because they are real sweet and i am not a sweet eater so i don't realy care for savoring the sweet flavors of the shakes.

I had surgery may 25, 2010 and I too was super excited. Here I am 8 months later, 98 pounds down and pretty much at goal. I only need to lose 4 more pounds, yay! I am struggling right now because I am getting into too many sweets right now. Good luck, you can do it!
