I just had my 4th adjustment appointment with my surgeon this morning. I couldn't stifle the laugh when he looked at my weight loss and said "Holy Shit, you lost 11 pounds!!!"

I am a little over 4 months out from my surgery, and I am down 61 pounds (including the 2 week liquid phase prior) and I couldn't be happier.

I am down from a size 24 to an 18.

I am 245 pounds, a weight that I haven't seen in probably around 6 years.

I am happy... simply happy.

I did not expect the results to be this consistent, but I am happy I was wrong!

Good luck to everyone out there - it can be done!!!

That is AWESOME!!! I am also 4 months post-band surgery and I am LOVING this help and sorta wishing I'd have done this many years ago. I am wearing a pair of pants today that I had to STRUGGLE to get into just a few months ago. AND I don't have the muffin top thing going on anymore over these pants! I am starting to see the 'healthy' me slowly emerging from this adipose cocoon and I am ready to emerge as a transformed ME!

;-D

Let's keep on KEEPING ON!

I'm only 1.5 weeks out but I've lost a total of 30 lbs since starting my pre-approval diet, including 5 since surgery. Today I was putting the "winter" clothes away and I tried in 2 dresses that I haven't worn in 6-7 yrs....they fit better now then ever before!!

Can't wait to continue on this journey.

Great job to everyone!!

      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.
