Hi!

I was banded (Sounds like we are birds being tagged and released!) in Nov 2010 by Dr. Phearson at SoCal Bariatrics. I weighed 257 and I'm 5'5". It's now March and I'm down to 187!

Platueing seems to be my biggest problem. I will stay at a weight for 3-4 weeks and then slowly start loosing again. Juat found you all so I'm hoping for some questions answered here :)

Great job on your weight loss!!! Can't believe you've lost that much in so lil time! You should be proud of yourself. I have had the same problem for some time. I know what my problem is though.... It's that im not getting enough exercise and i need to cut out some of the carbohydrates. If u up your exercise, you will see more of a weight loss. 3-4 days a week of cardio and weight training 3 days per week.. Try to break it up.. cardio one day/weight training the next.. etc If you are already exercising then add more cardio... Its a never ending battle! I had the lapband 3/24/10- But been dieting since 10/09... Lost a total of 104 lbs. I am 30 lbs away from goal..... I am struggling to get there!

Good luck on your weight loss journey. Sounds like your doing an awesome job!:lol:

      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.
