I was banded 12/13 and have lost 51 lbs.

Dr. put saline in my band during surgery. Had one fill, but had to have it all removed while still at Dr's office because I couldn't even keep down Water.

7 mo out the last 5 lbs have been very hard to lose, I hit the gym least 4 x a week and eat about 1000 cals, a day- at 4.2ccs I deterred my fill till Sept because of lack of $$. I do feel restriction many times, but can eat pretty well. I think my body has gotten happy right where it is,,, and my knees are starting to crakle n pop so worried now that I may hurt myself trying to increase my exercise.. I did change the diet around and types of exercise to more weight training, but now what?? I'll take any suggestions.

Banded 12/19/11. Had a fill a week ago and I now starting to see scale go down again. It stalled for a couple months. Starting weight was 256 lbs. I was stuck between 197-203 from May til last week. Now have 8cc in my band. Started feeling real restriction for first time. Scale read 190.5 yesturday- briefly. I took a picture of it so pleased. Read 194 today- this is why we need to hide the scale. Started with 22/24 Lane Bryant jeans- now in a 12! too small for Lane Bryant. Took my smaller butt to Victoria Secerts last month- down from 42 DDD to 38DD, which isa bit big now. keep up the good work evveryone!

      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.
