At first I didn't want to post cuz I have not lost as much as I wanted and actually gained weight. First pic 4/6/12 339 lbs 2nd pic around /15/13 272 lbs 3rd pic 4/6/13 277 lbs.( 5 lbs gain ) getting back on the bandwagon is not easy but I'm pushing to get back on track. I know what I need to do I'm slowly getting it together. :-)

70 pounds in 1 year is awesome! Give yourself some credit for all of your hard work and take a moment to reflect on how far you've come in a very short time. Great job!

Thanks everyone. ! I lost most of that in the 1st 6 months, and have been holding or gaining the 2 nd 6 months. Which is why I think I feel a bit discouraged,

@Lapbandster you haven't heard much from me cuz I haven't been consistent on this site.But I'm refocusing and trying to climb back on the wagon. I've been coming on here more consistently the last few weeks being inspired by everyone's stories !! Which is what made me post my success because I know it can help someone else :-)

      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.
