No problem, go ahead and post your current weight and I will update the table this weekend. Yes we do it it every month but you have to read the posts to find the name of next months challenge. You also may want to leave a brief introduction, most of us do these challenges every month so we have a built in support group.

Thanks Larry! My current weight is 184.5.

Hi everyone! I wanted to leave a little introduction as well, my name is Andrea, I am 25 but will be 26 on the 25th this month. I am 5"3' and was 200 lb for my adult life. Every year I continued to gain 8-10 lbs since I was 18. I just kept getting bigger no matter what diet I was on or how much I exercised, so I decided to get the lap band so I could stop gaining and get control of my life. I didn't want to be anymore overweight than I was in my late 20's or 30's, so I made this decision in hopes it would help me in the long run. I was banded may 4th and am in mushy food right now, but so far so good :)

Hello everyone. I'm late posting...because believe it or not...my scale is broken. I know that I am "up" a few pounds (but I have now switched from mushies to real food). I will either get it fixed or get a new one by next week so I can post a real weight--and hopefully a loss. I will let you know that the last time I was able to get an actual weight...it was 247.5...which is up from the last posting...I am really looking forward to that first fill and being able to actually feel full.

Until next week....hope everyone has a great week.

Ok... I worked hard theis week to undo the the 4 pounds I gained from the cruise. So I weighed in at 200 this morning. Realy? could it not be 199!!! I have been trying now for 3 weeks to land on this elusive number.....Maybe my scales don't go that low....that's probably it.--haha

Anyhoo......200 it is..I better see 199 tomorrow!!

      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.
