Hi! I had my surgery 4/12/12. I've poked around Lapbandtalk for a while, but I just joined the group. I had my first fill last week and would love to hear how everyone is doing now that we are 2-4 months out.

Everything has been going pretty good here. Found a local support group, started tracking my meals on myfitnesspal.com, and joined a local gym where I love doing group exercise! I've lost 33 pounds so far and the road hasn't been perfect, but I am so glad I did this! :)

Welcome to the group New! Sounds like your doing great. Keep up the good work! You'll find lots of support in this group. However, things have been a bit quiet lately. I'm sure many are busy with summer vacations and so on, but it's a great group for support.

Great job on those 33 lbs. That's awesome.

Hi the new ME! what a cool name. welcome to our group. Great job on the weight loss and even greater job on joining an exercise group. The exercise part of this is something i gotta get into. I have been playing around in the pool on my last few days off with my child and trying to put in extra moves and playing beach ball volley ball to get movement and some exercise in.

      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.
