Thanksgiving Day, I weighed 388. I was banded on 12/3. As of this morning, I hit 338. 50 pounds in basically a month.

I'm walking (on average) three times a week, drinking basically only Water, and eating normal, soft foods (scrambled eggs, Soups, you know the drill).

I know the next 50 will go slower, but I'm still looking forward to it. My journey has begun with a bang.

That is amazing Heavy. I'm in awe. There are definitely some great pay offs for staying with it. 50 in a month! I don't even know what to say!

I hope you are feeling as good as it sounds. I can't imagine how I'll feel in 30 more pounds (that will be about my 50). The change now is unbelievable.

So kudos to you. I look to you for my advice. You've obviously been doing something right. Thank you for your inspiration.

Shelly and Heavy WOO HOO!!! Keep it up.

If I'd lost 44 - 50 lbs. I'd have to buy new pants. So maybe I won't be too envious... gotta pay off my deductable before buying clothes. LOL

I'll be watching for more news from the two of you.

Thanks everyone! Some of my clothes are definitely fitting a but looser, but all the clothes sitting in my closet that were too small are still too small. Personally I don't think there's a huge difference yet (or I would have posted pix), but a lot of people at work have been telling me I look different, especially in the face.

I read somewhere that the difference between a size 6 and 8 as apposed to the difference between a 2x and 3x if much more noticable.

I'm sure as soon as you start dropping sizes they will seem to fly by. I've read some of Jack's posts and I think he makes that point often.

I'm the same "size" but my curves are starting to curve in instead of out. I'm no longer one big square!

You'll be changing sizes in no time if you keep your momentum. I still say I'm in awe of your success!

      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.
