Hey Turner, welcome to the road! This is the best message board, everyone is so friendly and even when you are having a bummer day they will pick you up and help you out. We are all going through this together so it helps to have a place to talk it out. I am a baby at the band compared to you. I was banded April 9th. I have lost 30 lbs but wish I would lose so much more. I am not in twoterville yet, but I am SOOOOO close. I can taste it!!! LOL not a good pun. I also worry about getting there because I will feel so terrible when I creep back to the 3s.

Welcome, and I hope we can help in your efforts to lose what was so easy to get!

Well, since this is a monthly challenge, I went to the Dr's on the last day of the month to weigh in. I did this because I was sure I'd reached Twoterville. I weighed in at 136.3 kilograms which is 300 pounds exactly. I was quite disappointed and wanted to be 299.9 or something. I weighed once more but it came up the same! The nurse couldn't understand why I was disappointed and I didn't bother explaining. If only I hadn't had that cup of coffee beforehand! I decided to find it funny rather than disappointing. I have done well this month and lost a lot of weight. I'll have something to look forward to this week anyway.

Also, I joined a gym yesterday. I really think this thread has helped me a lot so far. I know I should be picking a goal for this month but I want to record this first. We are weight twins at the moment Jonathan, though I wouldn't dare compete with a male.

Well, after a month full of travel and little else I ended up 2 lbs up from the last weigh in but I can live with that. Would love to hit the mid-century weight mark though this month. I haven't had a fill in probably 4 months so I'm getting one on the 12th. Hopefully it can help with this month's goal.

Hey everyone I am so glad I found this group. So I had my surgery on July 18th and have lost a total of 33 pounds to date. I am trying to lose another 18 pounds to be under 300 by October. My birthday is in November and I'd like to be down to 275 by then. I don't know if that is an unreasonable goal, but I sure hope it isn't and I am going to do every thing I can to get there. I have had a set back with exercising as I over did my activity too soon after surgery and popped a deep stitch that worked its way to the surface and now I have a hole in my stomach about an inch deep. I have been to the doctor and he is monitoring it and says it is healing nicely. It was about the size of a nickel but now about down to a pea. I have to be carefully not to rip it any larger. It was pretty painful as the bare nerves were exposed, but it is getting better as it shrinks. So all I can really do for now is walk. I was doing Water aerobics and I can't wait to get back to that.

Well I can't wait to get to know all of you and share this journey. Good luck to everyone and I will be joining you in the September challenge.

      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.
