I'm moved by everyone here...I want what you all have succeeded at...I want to be part of this "club"...I want my hundred pounds. I was banded 1/18/2007 and still haven't reached my hundred lost. I'm now coming to all of you asking for your help, your encouragement, your motivation...anything you all are willing to give me.

I have. I've lost 110 pounds in 2 1/2 years. I have 15 more pounds to lose to reach the goal my surgeon and I agreed on, but I now need a knee replacement and think I will go beyond that to make my rehab easier. I will never be thin by insurance chart standards, but I am on one hypertension medication, down from four, and just had bloodwork done yesterday and passed with flying colors in all categories. I've dropped seven sizes and, with the exception of the bum knee, feel great. It is entirely possible to lose this much weight--and more.

I was banded 5/2008. My last fill was March 2009. Slow and steady weight loss the whole time. I lost the first 65 without exercising. Started working out July 2009.

I absolutely believe the lap band was a good idea. No regrets. It was hard at first, I admit, but definitely a good decision.

I did it! 112 lbs so far, and I guess I'm finally at that "sweet" spot.

First 6 months - 50 lbs,

2nd 6 mos - 20 lbs,

3rd 6 mos - 20 lbs

In the past 3 months - 22 lbs.

It feels like I'm losing so fast right now that I can't keep myself in clothes!

Hi, I hit 100 # about 15 months after being banded.:( I am now 17 months since surgery. Loss is slow and sporadic but health issues have slowed down my progress. My NSVs keep me going; my measurements (and clothing sizes) shrink in between weight losss):smile2:

      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.
