Before my journey started I wore size 24 pants, sometimes I could get in a 22 but they were a snug fit. Seven months later, today, I am in between a size 18 and 16. The 18’s are a little big and the 16’s won’t button yet. I will get into those 16’s soon. I went on a 3 mile walk this morning and thought about those dang 16’s that I will be in within weeks. A size 16 is my goal for the end of October. I think I can…I think I can. : )

Hey lap band evelyn,

I am right there with you. Im taller that you but started in a 24 and now my 18's are a little loose. Maybe we can motivate one another to hit the 16 mark by the end of October. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am still hoping for the 18's. I have a full wardrobe at that size. I don't remember leaving it behind. Sure will be nice to return. 16 will be next. 14 would be a miracle.

Congrats! I'm so close. I thought I'd try the 16's next week after a few more miles of walking. :D

      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.
