Your Dr needs to make it clear if they mention your amount of weight loss that not everyone will go down 100lbs in just 4 months.

I would do it if I were you...

I can't think of a single reason why not to do the commercial! Bask in the glory. Do you get free fills or anything?

Arcael,

Are there reasons why you don't want to do the commercial? On the surface, it looks like a great idea. However, I'm interested know why you have reservations.

I don't know, dude. People judge you for these things. I mean... you're going to be KNOWN as the lap band guy. Sure you want that kind of attention?

The way I see it...go for it....if more people know and recongnize you then that's yet another tool to help you along your path and keep it off. Way to go on the weight loss be proud of it and go for it!

      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.
