Cblancha9,

Good luck with your surgery. At our age you'll need to exercise daily, but it works. Please keep me posted.

I have been banded for 10 mo. and I've lost 100 lbs. I am now at 170 lbs. and I think I'm going to try for 11 more lbs. to be at 159 lbs. It's been an amazing journey. I wish I had found this forum a long time ago.;)

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted but I'm back now. To update anyone that might be interested.....I had my lap band surgery 2 years ago as of April 29th and to date, I've lost 231 pounds! I still have about 75 pounds to go, but there's no doubt in my mind, I'll do it. My band has been a miracle band as I've only had 3 fills in 2 years. So any one that says you can't lose that much weight with the lap band, that's a load of bull! I feel like a different person and quite frankly look like one, too. My band literally saved my life and I'll be forever grateful to everyone on here that has given me nothing but support. Hope everyone is doing well and I hope to talk to some of y'all soon. Becky

I posted and then noticed it had my old ticker on it, well I'll have to correct that with a quickness. Now if I can only remember how to do that!:help:

Hey this is awesome!! I haven't even lost 10 lbs yet but I hope it works as well for me as it has for the rest of you. I get my first fill tomorrow! Any of you who have any advice for a newbie, please PM me!! I need all of the encouragement and support I can get. I just keep thinking "I hope this works" surgery seems so drastic and now that I have had it done, I worry if it will be like every diet I have tried my whole life and failed at. I was banded April 9th 07 in Kansas City Ks. To the 100lb losers, I'm not worthy I'm not worthy! But I hope it happens to me. You guys are incredible and remember! Any tips, food tips, exercise tips or any little thing that helped you succeed, Send me a PM.

Katie

Hi ya'll. I reached the grand milestone of -100 lbs. last week. I had my surgery on September 5 of last year, so I'm just 8 months out. I'm 6 lbs. from my initial goal (may re-evaluate at that point), and couldn't be happier. I'm down from a size 26W jeans to size 12. I am off of 3 blood pressure-related prescription meds. My plantar fasciitis is completely gone. Knee pain gone. My flexibility, stamina, and strength are up, up, up.

      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.
