My first goal was to get below 253. That was the lowest i could get with diet & exercise.

My #1 goal is to get to 149 pounds, the weight I was the day I found out I was pregnant with my son. That was 6 years ago and as you can see by my ticker, I'm at 156.4 as of this morning. I want to accomplish this by April 14 which is my 31st birthday. I started at 205 on May 17, 2011, was banded on July 5, 2011, and have lost a total of 48.6 pounds since I started my lapband journey!

Good luck.

My first goal is to get to a metric two figure number... 99! I was banded last Saturday at 110 kg, I now weigh 106 kg... 7 more to go until my first goal.

Second goal is to get below 78 kg, which is the furthest I was ever able to go on my own with diet and exercise.

Third goal is... well, my 30th birthday is in September. I have to see how the band works and how much I can realistically manage before my birthday, but I definitely have a goal in mind for my birthday.

Fourth goal is 65 kg. Then I'll be at my ideal weight, 45 kg down from surgery. I don't know when I want to get there, just that I want to get there. So that's the ultimate goal.

      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.
