It has taken me two years and two months to lose 85 pounds. I never counted calories. Math makes me crazy.

Just remember the tortoise and the hare.

Sick of the ups and downs on the scale!!! I really think the forum for plateaus is a good idea! I need a fill I think that is my problem! 1 more week!!! Things get stuck but I can eat my whole plate now if I let myself. I will also go long time without eating then I binge eat which makes me eat more at one time and too fast so it gets stuck then I get a pain in my neck and shoulder like gas pains...anyone ever experience this?!?

Yes I have it's a nerve that tells us we over ate.,I think it's called a Vegus nerve, but someone please correct me if I spelled it wrong

I was banded in Sept 2011 also, and have lost 50lbs but have been on a plateau for 3 months! I am so discouraged and frustrated. It seemed like the weight was coming off so easily before and now the same for 3 months! I am so excited to get the remaining weight off, but it just keeps hanging on to me! It makes me feel better that I am not the only one going through this!

      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.
