Wow...what an awesome change in you. Just excellent!! Way to go you!!!

Thank you so much!!!! It has been an interesting road finding foods that work and don't work and then having to go back to stage 1 a few times because even yogurt would get stuck!!!! But honestly after YEARS of battling with my weight the band is the best thing that has ever happened to me(besides my husband)!!!!

I do not know why you ladies who have lost 66 lbs in less than 6 months think that you are slow losers! That is fantastic!! Your picture shows the weightloss. Spring is a great time to shop for in smaller sizes. best wishes! Karen

Never said I had been a slow loser but that the rate the weight is coming off now is slowing down.

      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.
