Mimin: Somehow I missed what kind of surgery you're having. You will no longer be a pear? Are you getting a TT? If you are, I am so jealous! Let me know how you're doing (and what). I wish you the best. For some reason, I'm not getting all the emails from this thread. I just got a new computer. I don't know if that could affect it. I still get the same email. Anyway, I lost 1 pound this week. Getting frustrated but trying to stay patient. Going to talk to the doctor about another fill. We'll see.

Well, halle-freaking-luia, I finally lost some weight. I'm very restricted right now with 2.25 cc. Can only get about 2 oz of chicken down at a sitting so I'm eating a little bit more frequently. I'll start back with the Walking off the Pounds tape in the morning.

Went to a St. Patrick's party last night and got lots of compliments on looking good; very nice feeling.

Karey: I am getting breast augmentation this upcoming Friday. I do want a TT but I am going to wait until after my bandiversary. Things could change in another 6 months or atleast I can hope:) After being so heavy for so many years I'm not holding my breath!

We could start the challenge tomorrow -Weights posted could be end of St. Patty's challenge and swing right into the 4th of July challenge!

Anyone interested in keeping track this time around?

I'm in for the July 4th Challenge! Let's just hope I can actually make a dent in my weight this time! The St. Patrick's day challenge went practically unnoticed by me 'n my band. I am supposed to be getting another fill on Tuesday. I am going to freak if this doesn't help!!! I've had 5 fills already and still not losing well. Still hungry almost all the time. Still able to eat too much.

Starting weight 218 - 177current - 140goal

Surgery date: September 11, 2006

I'll weigh in the morning to set my July 4th start point.

Good luck everyone!~!

I'm in for the July challenge! I hope I can do better than the St. Patty's challenge. I had a small fill today (.2 cc). I hope this gets me to that sweet spot. My starting weight for the July 4th challenge is 189. I would love to be at 160 by July 4th! I'm going to work really hard to get there. Who's keeping track?

MimIn: I wish the best with your surgery. You'll be in my prayers. Let us know all about it. Very exciting!

      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.
