Thank you for the encouraging words. So what kind of things are you eating? Have you over eatin at all? Have you cheated? I am asking cause I have. I struggle with food soooooooo much that sometimes I think I will always be fat and this will not work for me.

This is a long time out.. since April...I am now down 53 pounds...went from size 18 to a size 12...and very happy. Need to lose another 25 ish....It has really slowed down now..lost only 8 pounds for the month of July. but I have already lost 2 pounds for April..so it is still coming off! I know I can eat a little more....obviously..and I have cheated many times..The difference now is that my cheating amount is soooo much less. (example.. instead of eating 15 cookies..I only eat one or two. But I hope everyone of us keeps our faith....take our time..be patient! Life is so much better with this weight off. I can't wait to get my next physical and see the new stats on my blood tests. We will all be so much better off!

I have lap band. It slipped and we are removing it and going with the sleeve. My surgery got moved from March to July. Need someone who can give me support on the pre- diet until my surgery so I don't regain weight. I am working out a food plan. Hope I can stick to it and not graze. I currently have no restriction from the band due to how it angled when it slipped.

      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.
