It has been two years since my surgery. I have lost 64 lbs. so far and have 25 yet to go. I thanks God for keeping me in good health. I hope all of the mayo 2009 bandsters are doing well.

The first 18 months were a dream! I've had some problems the past several months, but nothing that is insurmountable in my mind.

I need to fix my ticker - I was at that for about 3 minutes but mostly I was hovering around 185. I'm now at 205 but I'm not losing hope - getting back on track.

I'm still very happy to have 80+ pounds off and will reach my goal!

I cannot believe it will be 3 years this May. I have lost 70 pounds and am pretty much happy with my weight. The last 10 pounds have been slow..Now just to tone up..My most recent problem has been a severe headache when I eat..I think this is what has helped me lose the last 10 pounds. Anyone else have this problem...Also what do people think of having the band out when you have been at goal for a year or so. I certainly have changed my eating habits

I can't believe it's been FOUR years now! Are there any other Banditos still here on LBT? I'm down 80 pounds from my pre-surgery highest weight. It's been slow, steady progress with stalls along the way but no major backslides. I'm still aiming for 150, but will settle for 160. I plan to look into getting a Tummy Tuck when I arrive at 175.

I'm trying to get plugged back in here at LBT and would love to hear from you!

Best wishes,

Christy

      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.
