It's been a while since I've contributed anything to this site. Mainly because I've been on a bit of a slump the past few months and haven't really lost any weight at all. I feel like I have turned a corner and am confident that I am well and truly getting back on track.

To help with my confidence, I'm doing a little 'Throwback Thursday' and showing you a pic comparison. The pic on the left was taken at a corporate photo shoot not long before my surgery in 2014 and the pic on the right was taken this morning...

Even though I haven't lost so much weight in the last few months, the evidence of what I have lost is clear - need to remind myself of that every so often.

Have a wonderful week everybody xxpost-230007-0-85881900-1459389364_thumb.jpg

That's a big difference - you should definitely be proud of yourself! Think of where you'd be if you didn't get your lap band at all. You've lost weight and kept it off, and that in itself is success :)

Very pretty,, you look wonderful, Congratulations.. Everyone has a slump, I've had one for about 6 months, but sometimes your body tells you what you need. Don't beat yourself up, just get back into the groove, I have to remember how far I've come even if i'm not where I want to be..

      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.
