Hi there. I got banded in July. I was banded 11 days after you it seems. So far I am down 12 lbs that I know of but I only weigh when I go to the doctor. This keeps me from being half crazy as the scale move backwards and fowards. I did have a lower BMI (35) so my weight is coming off a little slower. Life with the band is truly different.

1. I no longer crave certain high carb starchy foods as I did before. (I do still have some cravings)

2. I no longer get up planning what I am going to put in my mouth.

3. I am working on walking at least 1 miles a day and get disappointed when I don't

4. My tummy is a little airy so I do take the opportunity to walk around at work each night and pretty much when ever I feel like it...no one seems to mind.

5. I love Quest bars now.

I was on July 15th - so pretty close. It is slow and steady for me. I started at 263 and am at 229 as of this Saturday. Still not in the green zone so I still struggle with controlling my intake. However, I think I am consistently losing because I stay between 900-1200 cal a day and do zumba 2-3x a week. I am finally starting to see it in my clothes. Hopefully my next fill will get me out of bandster hell!! I think I am close because i do feel full when I remember to eat slow and focus on Protein. Good Luck and let us know how your doing! PS. I must confess I had cheese pizza today.... extra zumba this week I guess...

Aug 13 here. I cannot have a fill until Oct 6. Slow progress but Soo happy. I can step out of my clothes without undoing them. Bought the fitbit and trying to get my steps in. I don't plan on being a marathon runner or gym bunny but sure hope to improve my health and fitness level

      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.
