Hi! just a little note to tell everyone good luck and don't feel you have to lose your wieght over night because you will not with the band, but that's the reason that you had the band or are getting the band, losing slower will help you keep it off in the long run!!!! I can tell you I would have loved to lost all of my wieght by now but it's taking time, but that's ok!

I had my band Sept.4,2003 and am down 91 pound's:whoo: I was a 100 pounds down but I am going in for a fill tomarrow Yeaaa!!! man do I need one I can just about eat any thing! :hungry: bad bad bad!!! But if i could control it I would not have had the band put on. I have gained 9 pound's in the last 6 months and I am so mad at my self:angry but I will get it back off real soon.

If I don't lose another pound I will still be greatful I had this done. wow what 100 pounds off could make in someones life, I can do almost any thing now, sit in a booth when we go out to dinner, go to the movies and sit in those small chair's I forgot how much I liked going to the movies, walk up and down steps ....ect.a lot of thing's. Thank you lap band for giving me back my life... I hope every one out there has as my happyniess in lap band as I have had in mine. Good luck to all of you!:clap2: Remember :Banane20: losing slower is better for you not as much sagging skin better health....ect. Happy lossing!!!

      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.
