In August I had a health scare and I wasn't supposed to exercise. Needless to say this made me slack off a bit :( Now I am trying to get back on track. I joined this group today to see if I can get motivated again for the new year!

I am down 98 lbs so far. It feels great. I started in a size 26 and just bought a size 14 last weekend. I can't remember ever being this size and feeling this good!! Exercising 4 days a week.

I am feeling good :) I wish I had more motivation to exercise though I think once I start back with that I will start dropping more weight I have been within the same 10 pounds for 5 months now so it is really frustrating. Everyone says I look like I have dropped weight recently but the scale isn't showing it and I'm not seeing it. Overall so so so happy I did this :)

Hi all. I am doing well but feeling a little down. I haven't seen my Dr in about a month because I have restriction but I am still hungry. Been up and down 3 to 4 pounds for the last several months. Lost around 60 lb since my lap-band placement on April 4, and about 20 from the pre op diet for a total of 80 so far. I've been at a plateau for about 3 months now. I was hoping my Doctor would start back up with Support groups, but after 4 months without, they finally updated the Facebook page with.....Sorry I haven't updated in a while, we just got a NEW doctor and another to start in April, and we will no longer be having Lap band support meeting. I feel like I have been dumped! Their were three meetings in total. I am very disappointed, to say the least.

      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.
