Thanks, Paula....you know sometimes I have to sit back and realize that, in fact, I have lost 67 pounds in a 7 months!!! I get anxious sometimes and start to freak.

I get pissed too when my mother says to me, "well, you have been eating more and not making the best choices....I have noticed this"....OMG, I am nearly 50 years old and I feel like a child when she says that kind of stuff to me. I think I feel like a child when she says it because I HEARD it as a child ALL THE TIME. Wow, that's the first time I actually said that out loud...if you know what I mean?! I feel better already!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness for my lapband friends and this board...

67 pounds is awsome, I only lost 40 pounds since I was banded, I am thinking I am ready for another fill as well. I might do one next Monday. You are all making me want a fill, I still have restriction but I stopped loosing and I am eating more then I want to.

Just a reminder - EVERY SINGLE pound lost is something to Celebrate but I do agree - we all need to recommit at times to get the fill and make the changes needed for the band to work.

Margo, Before this week the last time I lost weight was January. I have beenon a major plateau. I know myself I was making bad food choices and I am trying to improve that. I often have to remind myself to look at the bigger picture also. I feel like my weight comes off so slow, a lb here, a pb there...a lb a month. I wonder if I am ever going to lose it. Next thing it has been 12 mths and I have lost 70lbs. I know it is quite a slow loss, but hey I got there, slow and steady and all that right??

Well looking at your stats slow and steady your not. You have lost as much as I have in 5 mths less time. Remeber keep looking at the bigger picture, it paints a prettier picture :)

      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.
