When I read peoples weight loss, I always feel a twinge of jealousy. I know that everyone has their own journey, and that it is mixed with such Joy for everyone - I just want to be able to jump up and down for me too!

A day at a time.

and suddenly it's 2 weeks since my band.

and I am thankful for feeling so well.

btw, I don't want to get on a scale yet -

not till my first fill.

Happy 4th!

Let me clarify.

October 2005...diagnosed with diabetes...weighed 287 lbs..dieted...lost 13 lbs

February went to Lapband seminar

3 weeks before surgery went on 500 cal/day liquid Protein diet

March 14, 2006 had surgery...weighed 257 lbs

I haven't lost 60 lbs in 3 months...I've lost 60 lbs since my journey began last October.

As far as eating plan...I do what my doc told me...eat what you like. He doesn't give you a plan. I try to get in Protein first like everyone else, then veggies. I don't count anything. I do take a very good liquid Vitamin supplement.

Some days I feel very little restriction...other days like yesterday....I have a bunch of restriction.

Thanks for all the congrats from everyone...you're all the best!

      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.
