How is everyone doing? Its been a while since I came on. I am at a stand still but not complaining. I know this is a life long thing, I will get there. I have been wanting to exercise but never got there yet. I do a lot of yard work but I guess thats not good enough. Well talk to you guys later.

Hi sorry its been a while - I was banded on 2/7/07 and currently down 46 lbs, not as far as i wanted to be but im trying - i have to say this is all wihtout exercise also!

Hey, when i fell on this thread, i was really interested in your posts, and was bummed to see you not post for a while, and then, there is was, today! Im so happy for you, you are having great success, I know I was majorly frustrated when I first got surgery, and for a month starved and regretted because I had no restriction...then i got pregnant! Talk about bumps in the road! I stayed the same weight thru the whole pregnancy, and gained about 10 pounds at the end, then 2 weeks after Nadia was born, I was down to the weight I was when I went in for surgery!...10 months later! Haha, now I can laugh because I got my fill, got great restriction, and have been steadily losing. I refused to exercise for a while, but then found it dramatically increased my weight loss, and helps me de-stress and deal with the day. I walk anywhere from a 1/2 hour to 2 hours a day, in my house with the baby in her stroller, its lame but it works for me, an I don't think of it as exercise (otherwise I wouln't do it!) I just think of it as fun for me and her. I would miss it if I din't o it because its not so much for the weight loss, as it helps my huge mood swings and stress from losing weight so quickly and having a new baby. Anyways, great to see your new post, and how is your restriction?

Does 29 count? I'm sad, only 352 days before I turn 30. :car:

I started at 230, now weight 196 and couldn't be happier!

I feel very thankful that I was able to do something about my weight while I am still in my 20's I want to have a family - start trying at least in a year and a half and not to be having the notion that my weight will double after a baby. Which is typical for my family's side of the family. Now I am empowered and adjustable for the rest of my life!

I am so psyched with my progress and it is really starting to show. I feel so much better about myself and I find myself making the effort to do my hair, put on makeup, wearing contacts, and buying new cute clothes.

I am down 2 sizes in shirts and 4 sizes in pants!!! This is so awesome and I am almost out of the plus section!!

Thanks for your words of encouragement.

      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?

      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.
