First of all Thanks Vera for checking in on me!!

I haven't been posting alot lately, but I have been reading!! March 20th was my 7 month out from surgery. I have lost a total of 50ish pounds. Got on the scale just now and it said 183 but I fluctuate between 183 and 185. My last fill was Jan 9th and no way am I ready for another. I figure I am averaging 7 lbs a month. I am hoping to lose another 35 in the next 5 months. That will be my year mark. I am glad everyone is doing well. I kinda went through a don't want to talk about the band stage because I felt like I should be losing more. I told myself in 2 weeks I will weigh and see what the scale says.

Take care everyone!

Thanks Alexandra!! Actually I was digging in my closet and getting rid of clothes and finding some that I haven't worn lately. I can't wait until August of this year to see what happens at my year mark! I am more excited about that this year then my own birthday. Well I better get to work:-)

Kelly, good to hear from you. You were only banded a week before me and I, too, have lost 50 pounds. From what I can see from what others have posted, that is about average. You're doing great!

      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.
