I have joined this support group and we all plan on doing 101 miles in 100 days together either walking, riding, hoping, or anything. We start this journey together on January 14, 2014. I have had no energy at all for the last several months. But i went to UVA on January 10, 2014 for checkup they put a .5 fill in and want me to walk. They also want me to start a B12 500 mg pill that dissolves under tongue daily to try to boost energy. I hope this helps me out. Please if there is any supporters out there that can just help get me motivated again please respond. Thanks and have a blessed day.

I'm almost 7 years out myself and live west of Richmond. I'm getting back on track, and need all the support I can get. I've kept 40 lbs off, but want to lose 50 more. So glad we can be here for each other! I'm on My Fitness Pal, so if you like, feel free to add me there. (Jenashu13)

I live in the west end of richmond and was banded on October 2013. I have dropped 46 pounds so far and I want to lose another 20. I am at a complete stall. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

      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.
