From a 22w to a 4. The picture says it all. I'm trying to get rid of some attic junk and found these old shorts of mine. Wow! If things are tough, remember, it works!

Wow- you started exactly where I started, and you are now exactly where I want to be! I'm hanging on to some old jeans, just to take a similar picture. I can't imagine wearing a 4! Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm amazed at the amounts of weight many are losing. What's wrong with me?? Geesh! I've only had one fill since surgery on February 17th. Go for my second on the 23rd. I lost 25 lbs. before surgery and only 21 since. Very frustrating!! I'm walking A LOT!! Up and down our huge hill every day. It is about 1.5 miles total. What am I doing wrong? I try not to each much. Stick to Proteins. No potatoes, no rice, no breads.

Hi Karen. Are you logging everything you eat and drink in your food journal? And also be mindful of the time you are eating. I'm newly banded but logging in my food journal has helped tremendously! Don't get weary...keep working at it!! Since May 23 I've only lost 12lbs. It's very frustrating so now I'm logging, and exercising more!! Hang in there...you got this!

KarenWB, if my math is right, you've been banded about 16 weeks, and have lost about 21 lbs. Thats about 1 lb PER week , which is excellent ! Great job ! YOU are'nt doing anything " wrong" , it sounds like you're doing everything right ! Your body is happy with what you're doing, hopefully your Dr. will be too ! I lost my weight about the same as you, im VERY happy with the results ! Keep it up !

      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.
