Hello everyone. I have been gone from the forum for about two months, during which time I was suffering a serious "too tight" issue. As a result, my doctor had to remove most of the liquid in the band. Since then, I have gained 7 pounds from overrating and making bad food choices. However, I am determined to make this year the best ever! Today, I will begin to take control over my life and my health with a vengeance. I realized that I did not spend ten thousand dollars or more to gain the weight back after making it half way to my goal weight! I know I can turn this around, I just need to be strong and stay on this forum for the support I need. Today, I will start going to the gym.

I always keep my past challengers in my sheet so you can always come back, Glad you are here!

Checking in! I am down a little after a rocky few weeks in December. My goal weight for January 31 is 219 and I think I can meet or exceed that since January is such a long month. And this cold must be burning fat, right? That's four pounds to go to be out of the twenties. I am not eating too much, just got a fill and I feel at peace right now with my appetite. Now to kick up the exercise again and do this thing! Good luck every one, and happy Wednesday.

What I didn't include in my check-in is that the scale actually moved down .3 lb. That is really just maintaining, but I'm happy. I've changed my exercise routine the past couple of weeks and my body is trying to figure things out. I think I'm still on target for my goal weight this month.

      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.
