Hey Tammy.

I was banded in dec and have just lost a little over 30 pounds. It is going much slower that i expected but atleast i am losing. I just had my 3rd fill last week, my doctor is very conservative with the fills but i guess in the long run it will be better for my overall health. But right now i am losing faith.

Looks like we are all in the same boat. I was banded 12-29 and have lost 30 lbs. 22 of it was in the first 4 weeks on the liquid diet. I am getting another fill

next week, and I am hoping that will get me losing again. I am rather disgusted.

Tammy, the search feature here will point you to even more threads about December bandsters, just use advanced search and search for thread titles with the word December in them. Here's a few specifically geared to December 2006 bandsters. Hope this helps!

I was banded on Dec 14th 06 and have lost about 60 pounds. But recently I have really fallen off the band wagon as far as watching what I eat and exercising. I am a junior in college and when I was at school usually had time to go to the gym for an hr/ hr 1/2. And since our food was crappy I didnt really have to worry about overeating! But now that Im home I work 11 hour days, and have 4 hours once I'm home to cook clean and spend time with my fiance. So... it kind of leaves me in a rut and I'm starting to get depressed about my slowing loss.... Maybe its just the 6 month thing...we all seem to be a little down these days...

Don't get discouraged! Just try to eat the Protein first. You have lost twice as much as me. I just got another fill yesterday and I don't think I can eat yet.

Do you think another fill would help you? I really didn't want to get one, but now I see that's exactly what I needed.

Hi Tammy & everyone else!

I was banded in Dec. '06

I just had my 2nd fill last week. I don't understand why I still don't feel much restriction. I haven't been doing well with my eating. I'm able to eat way too much. I can't wait to get to the "sweet spot" everyone talks about. I had oatmeal this morning, a big salad for lunch and rice with hamb. tonight. (The problem is: I still snack all day)

I think I'll try the South Beach plan or maybe counting calories. I realize that it takes more than this operation to lose the extra weight...I NEED TO CHANGE MY THINKING ABOUT food.

I've lost 30lbs. I hope to start losing again.

      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.
