It feels so good. This surgery has changed my life. Weather it be the lap band itself or the fact that I decided to change my life and actually am doing it. For the first time in a long time, probably since 6th grade which was like 17 years ago, I feel good about myself. My depression which I have had since about then is gone. I am going to the gym and doing kickboxing and actually enjoying it. Even though I feel my weightloss is a little slow, my body is changing and I feel good. I have to say I was so miserable before surgery I thought about ending things a few times a month, but since surgery I have not had one negative thought. Sorry for my sob story, but I felt I needed to share. Everyone keep up the great work!

Wow! I see that you got your band like only four days before me and your amount of lbs. lost is twice as much as mine. What are some of your secrets?

Congratulations! It is exciting to fit into smaller sizes. I bought a small sized sweater and some size 6 jeans at a yard sale the other day, so I have something to push for, for next Winter. I'm in size 12-16 jeans now. I can still wear at least one of my size 16's.

SO AWESOME!!!! Congrats!!!!! Feels so GREAT to get into smaller clothes.

Yesterday I tried on a shirt getting ready for work and realized it was WAY too big for me. I haven't worn it in awhile...thinking it was going to be too small!! Thank God I had some XL tops already that I keep from a few years ago. I'm starting to build a pile of clothes in the spare bedroom to pack up for the Good Will. laugh.gif I'll need to go shopping soon. biggrin.gif

      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.
