It has been 4 Months 7 days sense my New Journey Started!

I am down 36 pounds!!...some people ask me why I have not lost more weight...ugggg

I am so exited with how my extra unwanted pounds have come off! and I am finally able to make a goal to when I might be able to hit

my target weight and I am shooting for January 1st!

I have learned so much in the last 4 months with my new baby...such as eat slow!!Chew,Chew,Chew...don't gulp when drinking.

someday's my Buddy likes what ever I eat... other days no matter what I try My Band don't like it, so it's always a new experiance

learning to live with my new Buddy.

But to those who are just starting out I will tell you to relax and enjoy the new journey,and don't worry about what others have lost

in the same time frame, we are all different, we don't look the same we don't live the same as other's so why would we loose the weight the same as other's...So stop Compairing yourself to the other's... I might not have lost a lot of weight to some but the way I look at it is I have not put any on!!! and I am very happy and excited with what I have lost and will continue to look forward to my future with my New Buddy.

Hi Karad,

Thanks for the positive post. I will be banded on 8/8/14. It does help to reinforce that I'm doing the right thing by reading positive info from other banders. Keep up the great work!

      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.
