I am thrilled with my results, but I have also put the work needed into it. I work out regularly and watch what I eat. I dont let one slip up ruin the rest of my day/week. I also know that I am human and I'm going to allow myself a bowl of ice cream if thats what I want. If I'm out with friends, I am going to have a glass or two of alcohol.

I'm happy so far. I could not have done this without my band tool.

My band has made all the difference in my weight loss...I could not have made this much progress and avoided Type II Diabetes without it.

I now understand how much work it takes to loose every pound...still definitely worth the effort to learn how to use this tool!

yup I am happy. There have been times along the way that I was frustrated that my loss was slow but in the end I am happy. Slow and steady wins the race!!!

I am 22 months post op. like others have said... I love my band but the band only does 70% of the work. You must put in the effort to maximize results. I am 10 lbs or so from my goal... Not once was I bored with the diet because it's about portions and nutrition ...I did however count calories and limited them to 1000 per day...but I am rarely hungry.

It's a big decision. Only do it if you are committed and ready for a lifestyle change.

Good luck

      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.
