Yes....3/14/13...I was 187 when I was banded...I am down to 160 as of today! But, I am working really really really hard. I go to a trainer 2 times a week, try to do cardio for an hour 3 times a week, and try my best to eat healthy...I have cut back on wine, my favorite...and just try to stay away from junk.

My BMI was 31 when I got banded....not very high I know...I did it with my mom and we went to Mexico. I am very happy that I did it....despite the hurdles along the way...my mom has also lost 20 pounds :-)

You look amazing! I pray that My band works for me as your band has worked for you and not to discredit your hard work and dedication. Good job!

      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.
