I have been REALLY watching the food choices,not exercising yet but the weight is moving down and i am so happy!It's so fun and motivating for me when people tell me WOW! you are melting away.This morning the girls from the office are standing around me, gushing.Of course i am beet red but inside soooo happy!

It helps that i FINALLY bought some smaller clothes.I think i am in denial.I feel like if i buy smaller i will gain and they will be too small(i know it won't but it used to always happen before) but gosh it's true! and if i keep up my end of this bargain i will succeed!:cool:

I'm so happy for you Chantal!!!! I bet you look terrific but I can totally understand how you are feeling. It will be very strange to think that I will be losing weight and it won't be finding me again. I'm sure it will take awhile before I can let myself trust that I will be able to get rid of my fat clothes as I lose. I hope I am able to use my band as well as you are!

Our day is coming Debra... for now we can enjoy doing the happy dance for those that are showing us just how great the band is as a weight loss tool!

*applause and more applause* Chantal

Congratulation Chantel:D

Its great melting down, keep up the good food choices. Enjoy the smaller and then smaller clothes. Soon you may notice no weight dropping but your body will compact.

Its a wonderful feeling to start getting your body back, to wear the clothes you wore 7 years ago...

      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.
