3 years, 145 pounds for a total weight loss percentage of 45. My goal is 162 and 50% (I want to be half the woman I was!) Not for 1 moment have I ever regretted doing this!

Banded on July 15 2010...so i'm a few days short of 1 year...lost 62 pounds as of this morning. Did not have restriction until July 1 2011...yes thats right 15 days sort of my one year bandaversary! I'm now at a 6.5 fill - had a MAJOR stuck incident yesterday for the 1st time lasted 3 hours on a tiny peice of salmon skin. Yesterday i was questioning my decision. Today i woke up weighed myself and took a good look at my new body in the mirror and i now realize how far i have come and would not want to change my decision to have the band. I guess i had a moment!

banded 2 years, 4 months. Down 200lbs. Only 17lbs away from a normal BMI (which is NOT my goal, but thought I'd mention it for those who live & breathe by the BMI ..LOL).

Currently in the "considering plastic surgery, thinking about going for a consult" stage. Some, but not all, of those 17lbs would come off with plastics.

Yes, I'd do it again. No regrets whatsoever. Even waiting as long as I did to get banded I think was the right thing. I had to wait till I was physically, emotionally and mentally ready.

      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.
