I had my surgery August 17, 2011. I started at 217 lbs, tops 2xl and bottoms size 18. 2 months after my surgery I found out I was pregnant. I had lost almost 30 lbs before realizing I was pregnant. At 15 weeks I had all the Fluid removed from my band. No complications at all. My band baby was born may 28, 2012. Healthy boy 7 lbs 3 oz. I gained a total of 15 lbs throughout my whole pregnancy. My son is now 9 months old and I am down to 165 lbs. size 9 in jeans and size medium top. Still 25 lbs to goal until my goal weight of 140lbs. No one said it was going to be easy but it is Definately worth it! If I can do it, you can do it! Stay focused and follow the Lapband rules. It will work for u as it has for me! 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.
