As of 8:03AM 7/23/2013.... I finally cleared the 50 lbs. lost hurdle! 50.3 to be exact! :-D

Congratulations! I'm at a stall right now, have lost 55 lbs since 12/28/12 but I still have to reach my goal which will be ONEderland (under 200 lbs.). After that my next goal will be to get below 190. I'm setting my goals in 10 pound increments. If I didn't do that I'd be so frustrated! Hopefully I'll get to my goal by my one year bandiversary in Dec, 2013. One day at a time, slow and steady.

I have the same goal of seeing my weight at 199 and then working in 10 pound increments. I was banded July 25 and weighed 244. I had been dieting off and on for a year and half and lost 60 pounds. Got to 202 pounds! Went off the diet regime of weighing in weekly etc at the beginning of February this year Gained 42 pounds in 6 months. I hope I am successful with this. Good luck to you!

      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.
