I was banded 12/02 by Dr. Rick Fromm in Dalton, too! He is absolutely great!

To date, almost 7 months later, I have lost 65 1/2 pounds!

WONDERFUL weight loss! How are you doing it? I'm 3 weeks post-op and I haven't lost a pound since the first week. What am I doing wrong?

Melly:confused:

Use these rules:

Protein first...

Veggies second...

A dab of carbs, if you still have room.

Stop when you're full.

60-70 ounces of Water per day.

Never get hungry! It's great!

I even occasionally splurge, and still lose weight. By splurge, I mean eat something sweet.

I've gone down 8 inches in the waist, 2 shirt sizes, and 3 suit sizes. My shoes are even loose!

      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.
