Yay, I've lost 2 more lbs down to 256. i saw 255.5 flicker for a moment, LOL

I was heavy most of my young life, then during the summer between my junior and senior year in high school I lost a lot of weight by going on the practically anorexic diet. I got a LOT of attention, I was pretty hot. Then I went to college, met my first husband, got married and had 2 kids, and packed on the weight. Did different diets, exercised like crazy but ate to make up for it. Then got divorced, lost some weight, met my second and final DH, lost some more weight, then had a baby, gained weight, broke my ankle, gained weight, had another baby, gained weight- and decided it was time to just get this done with. DH had suggested lap band after seeing some of his co-workers do it. So I went to my PCP (who had actually recommended bypass a few years before but I didn't want to re-route my innards). Did the 6 month diet, got approved and was banded 1/26/12.

So I have a total of 4 kids, a (mostly) supportive husband, and more energy than I've had in a very long while!

Grrr - 221 - up 1 lb this week. I need a fill but they can't get me in until next Weds. So I'll fight the good fight until then! The rest of the month should be easy after that.

Sarah checking in at 214. Of course that was this morning before I started my marathon baking (read eating) for my son's school. I'm sure I gained a pound or two today, but I'm sticking with 214 for this week. No loss. Boo.

Although I have no weight change. I have reached and exceeded my goal as far as my dress size. I am definitely in a solid 12W. Can I just say that I have not seen a 12W since I was in 7th grade %%years ago. EXCITED for the little things. This is definitely a NSV....YAY!!! I try to see the happier side of things, since the scale isnt moving and I have had 2 fills. I am definitely seeing the inches melt away. Still happy and excited... :-)

      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.
