I have a question for those of you that have had your band for a while. What is your average weight loss a month?

After my initial loss of 39 pounds the first 2 months, I consistently lost 8 pounds a month for the first year.

I have lost 42 pounds since surgery (plus 10 pounds on the pre op diet), so my average would be about 6-7 pounds a month.

I am averaging 6-10 lbs a month but I'm only on my 4th month and not yet at my sweet spot.

My doc says the average is around 5 lbs a month.

The first 6 months I'd say I averaged about 8-9 lbs a month but then hit a major plateau and fought the same 3-5 lbs for almost 2 months - bringing my overall average down to like 7.65 lbs a month. Either way - I seem to have FINALLY broken through the plateau... yippee! :D

      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.
