WoooHoooooo! Yesterday I went to the Dr for my second fill...and he congratulated me on losing 49% of my excess body weight in 3 months. I know I keep saying this, but I swear I am going to get back into the gym. He said walking was an ok exercise but it is time to step it up a notch and work out like I used to (Circuit Training). He felt that I would have lost an even higher percentage if I had just applied myself.

Anyway, thought I would get on here and give you guys an update. So, how is everyone else doing?!

Go Stephanee! My band twin!

I went to the doc last week too and he told me I compared to his Gastric Bypass patients with the weight loss. The average for them at 3 mos was 50 lbs and is where I was, so I was happy.

I'm going for my 2nd fill 3/17 and I won't need much, I still have restriction, just not as much as I would like.

I'm so glad you doing great, you are over 1/2 way to goal!

Aw good for you. Sounds as though you are feeling really positive about your weight loss.

I have now lost 65% of my excess weight. I am extatic, as I am about to beat those statistics that say band patients lose 60% on average of their excess weight. I am determined to lose 100%.

I have joined a gym and hired a personal trainer and I see a difference.

WHOO HOO to us!

Keep going Stephanie.

      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.
