I was banded on 12/27 I don't have my first follow up til 1/14. My daughters had doctor appointments today so I decided to weigh myself and I'm done about 9 lbs. My heaviest weight was 284 surgery day I was 255 and today I'm 246. I'm a little disappointed I thought I would lose more especially after being in the hospital for 4 days with little to drink. But I guess just sitting or laying around isn't going to do much.

Congrats on the weight loss Millie!

Very good!

I was banded 12/19/13, I've lost 20 lbs so far just on the pre-op and post-op diet; in addition, I am walking 1 mile a day. Post-op visit with my surgeon today 1/7/14 and first-fill will be 1/17/14. So far so good, just tired of mushie foods.

Good luck to all! Happy 2014.

Banded 12/16. Down 21 lbs. first fill is 1/13. Tonight I ate quiche. Crust free. I thought I would be ok bc it's egg. It sat on my stomach like a brick. Tonight was the first time I have had an issues with something I ate. Actually had mild stomach pain. Never eating that again.

      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.
