So as the title says I was banded on May 10th of 2012 and including the pre-surgery diet I have lost 50lbs so far. I didn't think I would have anything to Celebrate only a few weeks out, but I already do and thought I would share:

1. Everyone at work keeps asking me how much weight I've lost and how I am doing so well :).

2. I went to the back of my closet and pulled out 10 items of clothing I haven't worn in 5 years or more!

3. My wife and I went to Disney World together and when we have gone in the past I am usually walking along with my feet hurting trying to keep up with her. This time she was trying to keep up with me! Also, I was able to ride a few rides for once!

I just thought I would share these with the community and I want to thank all the people on here so much. If I hadn't read your success stories I know I would have never went through with the surgery. I almost backed out the morning of, but decided that so many people had been successful and I wanted to as well. I am in love with my lapband at this point and so excited that I don't feel hungry and don't have the cravings like I used to. I look forward to continued weight loss and most importantly keeping the weight off long term.

Thank you all for the inspiration!

Fantastic! I was banded 5/21/12 and feel successful as well. Tried super hard and succeeded with pre-op shakes and sticking to the post-op 3 week plan. I'm down about 20 pounds and wearing my "other" clothes already. I've lost as much in a couple months and feel better than the years I was on WW. Thanks for sharing your story.

      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.
