Hey guys! So I used to do nutrisystem a few years ago, and the best part was the challenges on the message boards. Basically its just a group of us that post often and provide support, vent, share victories, and just chat! You pick a goal for the duration of the challange (like maybe a July 4th one for now!) and post weekly weigh ins.

I just got banded on 6/2 and as Ill be moving to soft foods in a few days, I would definitely love a good challenge and some new friends! So let me know if you are interested and Ill start a new thread with it!

congrats on the band! how are you feeling? Im about 9 days out and definitely feeling back to myself- so hang in there!

So pick a goal weight you'd like to hit by July 4th. So for instance, im at 223. By July 4th Id like to be 210. So my goal is 13 lbs in the 3 weeks. Granted after just being banded, your priority should be healing and not weight loss- but its still fun to have a challenge! Usually we also add things in like drinking all of your Water for the day, and exercising at least 3-5x per week (since we are both new bandsters, for us I guess light walking would be better!)

What do you think? anything you'd like to add?

I actually feel great! I like the goal weight I think adding the Water is good - I used to drink tons of Water every day until the band now its a little harder I am sure it will get easier - OK As of surgery day I was 236 so by July 1 I would like to be at 221 so 15lbs~ :rolleyes:

      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.
