I got my band on the 25. I am hoping to loose 15 pounds by August. They said I shouldn't expect to loose much for the first 6 weeks. I hope I can do it by August.

I was banded May 29. I also have a mini goal of losing 20+ lbs by Aug 1. I'm following doc's instructions and keeping my fingers crossed!

Please understand I am not trying to be mean spirited. Most doctors say you can loose 1-2 pounds per week. I am a slow looser and don't loose that much. Even thougth I am at restriction, eat very health; AND do at least an hour of cardio seven days a week.

To loose 55 pounds by the end off August which is 12 weeks away you would need to loose over 4 pounds a week.

      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.
