Haven't posted in a while but just wanted to share. I am almost 10 months post op and down 55 pounds. While there are days I hate this band (like now as I'm trying to eat chicken breast) the positives definitely outweigh the negatives!

You look beyootyful ! Way to go ! If its any help I cant do chicken breast or pork chops ( too dry) but I do just fine with chicken thighs and pork loin. Biiiig difference in texture !! Keep up the good work, I figure my day is only 5% negitive by being banded, but 95% positive by the weight loss and feeling healthier, so i look at the bright side . Good luck !

Thats a bunch of weight. Better than gaining weight and a good amount monthly to lose. Nice and slow, 4-6 pounds a month is great. Gets the body in a nice rhythm, not too much weight loss but just right over many months. This is what most doctors want us to do. We learn about what we can eat and make better choices, most of the time.

Congratulations!

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

      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.
