Is that how spell that idk lol. Had my 4 wk post appt. today the nurse practitioner was so excited about my results 17 lbs gone!!! She said most people don't really keep losing after the liquid diet so I'm doing excellent!! Can't wait tell I lose another 17 lbs I'm impatient lol. Fill in 3 wks and hoping I'm a lucky one that only takes 1 or 2 fills to reach the green zone. I've walked a 10k and I'm walking a 5k this weekend :) my energy is much better still tired at times but start B12 shots tomorrow so hope that will get me some more motivation. So, so far so good with my surgery :)

Me too!! Banded 3/21 and down 13 lbs according to my scale. I had lost 10 according to my docs scale at 2 wks post and go for a fill next Friday!!

17lbs is amazing! Another 4 lbs for me and I might be able to fit into an 18, so I look forward to that victory.

I'm walking my very first 5K this Saturday! Never done this before so I'm a bit nervous. Praying I can make it before everyone leaves LOL!!

Keep up the great work!! Can't wait to see what the 2 month mark holds for us!!

It's a local 5K here in North Alabama to raise money for the HS Soccer team (my kids both play on the team). Our whole family is walking.

      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.
