Happy one year!! 68 lbs is nothing to shirk about. It's an amazing loss! That's two toddlers you are no longer carrying around! Keep on trucking and you'll get there.

I wanted to be at goal by my one year but my surgeon said I'm doing great and it usually takes bandsters 2-3 years to reach goal. I'm hoping to get there by Christmas. If I don't...who cares. I'm living a better life now and am finally happy with the person in the mirror.

Congratulations! You are an inspiration -- let's see, 12 x 5 is 60 and you are 68 down in one year @ 5 per month plus....that is amazing! I am so happy for you. I can't wait to be banded -- hoping to do so well in the upcoming year and wishing you success with the next chunk. Happy, happy Bandiversary -- in truth I can hardly imagine how exciting this must be. I hope I'll be reporting back next year with you. Best wishes!

      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.
