larrypdot,

lets face it, the band is the cheapest of the surgeries and people dont see immediate results, so they see it as not working as well. But i'm glad he questioned me, it helped light a fire under my butt, and made me even more successful! I think I may cancel my next fill, cause I'm pretty comfortable, but I would love to show him what 4 weeks can do to a bandster! lol!!

Hi, last weigh in at 252 down 1.5 from last week. Didn't make my goal but still lost 6 lbs for the month, so that's better than no loss at all.

Joan,

How about next month we do Turkey Challenge, of course the challenge is not to be a turkey and eat to much Thanksgiving dinner. I am making sugar free persimmon pudding this year.

Well the 174 didn't last more than a couple days but I really didn't expect it to! It's ok. I will see again soon! My final weight for this challenge is 175. I have consistently lost 2 pounds a month since May or June so this is exactly where I expected to be. Congrats to everybody who hit their goal this month!

Checking in at 240. I missed my goal by only one pound--and I originally thought the goal was unrealistic. HA!!

My other goals:

Exercise Goal ~ Use elliptical at least 30 minutes a day, at least five days a week--in addition to attending yoga classes every week. I did okay with this except when I was visiting family in California. But I walked a lot there, so I still did fine.

Dietary Goal ~Track everything that I eat or drink every single day. I did okay with this except when I was visiting family in California.

Personal Goal ~Get back to writing every day (this month: revise last novel). I did not do well with this one. I'm re-visiting it next month!

      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.
