I was banded June 22nd @ 244 lbs, now 5 months and 11 days I am 199.2 - 45 lbs down!!! So glad I went through with this. It's been a really good tool and experience. I have learned a lot about my health that I think will help me keep the weight off in the future.

HI

I was banded July 6 06.

I started with a 54" waist... now 32".

I've lost 156 lbs.

My current weight is 134 lbs (and I NEVER tell any one my weight... LOL).

I still get weighed in every month with my family doctor... this keeps me on track and motivated.

Hi I was banded 10/2010 with a start weight of 272, after a slow start I am now 149 and loving my new life. There were times that I truly wanted to give up, I would read how others were losing so much wt and I couldn't lose more than 35 and I was so upset with myself. But I was able to get past that and this year which I started at 227, ended up turning out pretty good. I buckled down and followed the food rules, and was able to kick start my weight loss.

So as motivation I can say that you will love the way you feel when you lose the weight, and the way you see yourself will change your life forever. Go for it, and you won't regret it.

      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.
