I lost 16 lbs the first week. After that I was pretty constantly at the 2lbs a week, for a total now of 87 lbs and I am only 7 lbs away from onederland. I want it so badly. Just remember to enjoy the beginning cause the more weight you have to lose the faster it comes off. The closer you get to your goal the harder you have to work at it. Also my Dr shared with me that on average lap band patients only lose 50 to 60 % of their excess weight. This is coming from drs pooling their patient records so its pretty reliable. I am 75% .

I think I am mistaking clear and full fluids. I am now on smoothies And milk products so that means full fluids for next month. Not as bad as the clear fluids bit still getting quite hungry!

Thanks for replys by the way!

...im the same, im getting hungry as well. Im having baby food with some extra steamed potato blended in... and milk to make it sloppy enough for a straw... that does ease the problem a bit. its not a nice feeling to be hungry all the time. Is this the ''lapband hell'' that has been mentioned here??

      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.
