Darn that TOM, LOL. I always go up 2-3 pounds.

Hang in there and next weeks weigh in should be better. :)

Amy and Liz,

I was surprised and a bit disappointed when I didn't lose much in the first couple of months after surgery. It wasn't until I had 3 fills that my band really started to work for and with me. I am 4 months post op now and have lost about 23# . Just keep heading in the right direction and you'll get there!

Joan

Thanks Joan!

Julia - stayed the same this week at 193 :(

I think I'm going to have to lower my goals when I do these. I"m a slow loser and when I'm not making them, it becomes depressing. :huh:

Thanks!

Julia

      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.
