I am a school teacher and just started my new year. I had surgery 6/14 and am down 32 lbs. I was happy that a couple people at work noticed and said positive things about it! It always helps when I am feeling a little down or feel like I should have tried harder to lose more faster.

It feels sooooo good when people comment about your weight loss. I love hearing that. Just this weekend my husbands best friend said that I looked great and that I must have lost a lot of weight. Boy did that feel good.

I went back to work today since Aug 6 band date and it was nice to hear lots of positive comments about my success so far. The neagative people I work with are changing sides to being very positive about what I did. So far total weight before and after surgery is at 46 pounds. I'm leaning the right way.

Keep the faith Banders.

I have lost almost 50 lbs and when I returned to work I was at a 40lb loss. Everyone started noticing, I get daily compliments at work about how good I look. Unfortunatly some of my students overheard about my surgery and have had lots of questions. I have nothing but lotso support from all teachers and my students.

you are doing so very good. your positive attitude is quite refreshing.

please do not ever get down on yourself. you hold yourself up my dear.

stop comparing yourself to others who are losing faster or more. That is

them......you are you. and you are wonderful.

as for one being our childrens teacher, i thank you for that. for its people

like you who taught my son how to read/write. for that i am most grateful

Yes guys and this is the best decision I have made about my health! I teach children who are physically handicapped. There is a lot of lifting and moving involved. I work up a sweat tht pipit the day. I feel stronger than I have ever been on this particular job. I can tell a real difference. I am still worn out at the end of the day, but i also feel stronger and have more endurance!

      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.
