What an awesome accomplishment! I can't wait to see a 1 again either... The last weight I remember as a high schooler was when I was 16 and between 185-190... My normal BMI range is supposedly 120-150, but I cannot remember when I weighed that.

I have been watching some youtube lapband journey's and it's amazing how great everyone looks when they get around 200. I cannot wait to be there! I know we can all do this if we keep our heads in the game.

Grats on the weight loss and continued success that sort of feedback does the mind, body and heart good :)

You will be sucessful if you want to be.

Having the lap band surgery is all about life style changes. Letting go of your old habits and

giving up to some of the foods you may enjoy.

But the rewards of being trim and fit far outweigh that porterhouse steak!

But sadly, there are peole who refuse to let go, refuse to learn new ways, and will never acheive the thing

they say they want!

I quess it's human behaviour.

      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.
