I know how self-congratulating posts can be a bit much but I want to share that I love my lapband because I just weighed myself and the scale said 149.8. I promised myself that I would be 149.9 or lower by April 14, my birthday. This weight is significant to me because it is the lowest weight I've had in over 10 years!

I hope that this will give someone else who is struggling hope that their day will come too and it will be sweet because of the hard work it took to get there. My journey isn't over because now I have 19.8 pounds left to help me become a healthier me. Your success stories have inspired me during dark and weak moments. Thank you everyone for being here on this site!

Thanks everyone. It has been a tough year for me. I kind of feel like this is the start of a new chapter. There is still more to do but I have hope.

On a funny note: the other day I started walking up the stairs to my front door and forgot that I've lost so much weight. I braced for the fatigue I used to feel whenever I climbed those stairs. I didn't feel the fatigue and bounded up the stairs. What a moment. Has anyone else had a moment like that?

      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.
