I was banded Dec 19th 2011 and I am currently down 51 lbs. Its been good so far. I had one Major time of food getting stuck and that was last weds. That hurt so bad. But other than that I have been doing good. Its funny how I dont crave a lot of the foods I loved before surgery. I just know those foods are bad news and they probally will hurt. I love my band. I so hope at one year out I will have lost 100 lbs but I am just taking it one day at a time!!!!!!

Congrats on your weight loss! I'm sure you'll lose 100lbs within the first year. Within my first year I lost about 120 and that's without much willpower at all lol. Good luck!

Congratulations !!

Remember... take it one day at a time. Also, remember take tiny bites and MAKE SURE you finish what you have in your mouth before you take your next bite.

Thank you every one. Its hard work to stay on track and eat the right foods sometimes. But eating the right ones you get to your goals. I reached my first goal and now my next is 75 lbs! I know I can reach it!

      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.
