If you'll notice, I updated my ticket again, and the numbers are making me happy.

My weight today is 267, down from 337 back at the end of December. I have lost 70 pounds in about 4 months and I have only 67 pounds to go until I reach my goal weight. I am more than halfway there.

Some small, but important clothing stats to me:

- I started at a size 3XL-4XL t-shirt, I now find 2X are starting to become baggy.

- I started at a size 44-46 pants, now I need a belt to keep size 40 up.

I'm not quite a 1X shirt yet, and not quite 38 pants, but I'll get there, maybe by the start of June.

Thanks! It's been an awesome journey and though it's frustrating at times, I wouldn't change it for the world.

I had an awesome dinner last night too. One of my favorite foods is Korean Barbecue, but it's all you can eat and like $20 a person for dinner. Its not a bad deal, but not really something I can justify with how much I can eat.

I did get the lapband card that lets restaurants know I can only eat a small portion, but I called ahead and explained the situation and the manager was very nice and actually let me eat for the kid's menu price (50% off), it was pretty awesome.

I registered my band on lapband.com and they put my Surgeon's info date of surg and it asks the restaurants to allow you to order smaller portions/kid size meals!

Great job man! keep it up. I am a little bit behind you in the waist area with 42 inch being a little tight but your post is an inspiration.

Most every post we see is talking about sizes 8, 10, 12 etc. which is great for the women but is a little depressing when we men talk in sizes that are 3 to 4 times that number :)

Don't even get me started about the 38DDD's. That gets the mind moving in a totally different direction

Its been diet honestly, I didn't even have a gym membership through the first 3 months, but I haven introduced the gym now and just do full body workouts when I can, this last week though I was sick with the flu.

What is the lapband card? That sounds great.

thanks for the info on the card I was wondering how to get one.

They recently changed the site but call 1-800-LAP-BAND and ask about the card. It comes with personalized info about your surgery (great for emergencies because the first thing health care providers will do is look through your wallet for info in the event of an accident and you can't talk). but it does also say basically "note to restaurants: this person's ability to eat has been severely reduced, please let them order from childrens menus or at a reduced cost"

      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.
