Well.. I am approximately 1 week from my the anniversary of my lap band surgery. I have a 14 cc band, but little did I know that with that size band it would take this long to reach my mini goals. I went on last Thursday and they added 1 cc bringing me to a total of 9.6 cc's. And since last Friday I have lost 8 lbs. hahaha. I finally broke the 300 lbs mark.. I'm at 295.2 lbs. YEA ME!!!! I thought I would cry, but I thought that last year when I was dreaming of under 300 lbs... now, I'm just glad I finally friggin made it!! My husband said... well you finally made it huh? I said "Made it? MADE IT? I CRUSHED 300 lbs.. hahhaha This new restriction is crazy tight though. Now I just wanna watch the weight melt away!!!

Good for you Lucie! I've been banded since Dec 28th and I've yet to hit the green zone. I mean I've lost 55 lbs since my pre-op diet but I've yet to hit that elusive green zone. I'm hoping that my next fill on August 5th will be my green zone day!

      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.
