I think this is very cool!! I just had my lap band surgery this past June so have lots of questions as I run in to the different things thru this new journey! So far I've lost a total of 60lbs since I started going to my clinic in February!

Not 60lbs since June! In June I had the surgery, but started going to the clinic in February and my insurance asked for 3 weigh ins before surgery so that's when I got in a diet! Lost 27lbs on my own and the rest was after surgery! I was 305lbs my very first weigh in and im at 245lbs up to now! My goal weight is 200lbs and thinking about staying there! So need 45lbs more to go, I'm 6ft tall so it should be good!

      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.
