I will be 3 years out from my lapband this February. God has been very very good :) to me and helped me accomplish my weight loss. Just another 80-90 pounds left!

Good luck on your new band journey! :clap2:

Good Morning

I hope everyone had a great evening. Mine was a bit iffy but I was very productive. I did not exercise but I stayed busy so I wouldn't keep eating. I ran errands, cleaned up and sorted bills. Oh what fun. I went to the gym this morning. I am stressed so pray that I don't eat everything today. I have weigh in tonight and I am concerned. LOL

Anyway..I did my kick but routine.....:faint: had a quick shower and plopped on my bed.... I was beat!!!!!!!! WOW! You've been to the gym already??? Your sooo good!

Bandida you are going to make me go get a Tae Bo tape. I use to do them and it was great exercise. You really work a diffrent set of muscles. I remember feeling stronger and I had more energy after doing his tapes.

The gym is in my office building so I just come in early. I hope I get an opportunity to go back at lunch.< /p>

Thanks Bandida!! I keep telling myself that its not that bad... And I was trying to stay off the scale until Sunday for a weekly weigh in instead of every day, but I thought I had been doing so good that I wanted to see how much I had lost...lol...Dang thing was suppose to move the opposite direction!

I am so thankful for this site and being able to get out what is bothering me and being able to hear those amazing words of encouragement to keep me going...This post alone gives me the strength to carry on and continue what I have been and need to be doing! So I want to thank everyone on here for being here for everyone and sharing your experiences for us all to view

Avilla

Sunday Monday Tuesday 7am

Come on that is not enough time. Where are your measurements? Give your body some time. Just stay motivated. How much did you weigh when you got banded? How much did you weigh in October and how much do you weigh now? Come on I want to see the numbers.

Well, I would add a line like yours with all of the weight loss and measurements and stuff but my signature line wont save anything more than what I put on it due to all the extra space in there...Says all that blank space counts as used characters....But anyways, started at 312.5 and now at 259.5

      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.
