I turn 26 today and when I got up to weigh myself I couldn't believe it I am officially down 100 lbs from my surgery/ starting weight !!! and 133 lbs down from my all time highest of 375 from right after I had my son (cause everyone gains 100lbs during pregnancy)

I'm so thrilled that I was banded, I'm sure that I will be healthy enough to have and enjoy many more birthdays !

Congrats and Happy Birthday! What a great present, I wish I could get a -100lbs on my birthday but it's the beginning of July and that seems unlikely at this point hehe.

This is a really old string, but I was excited to see it. I am being banded in January and part of the timing for me is that I will turn 40 in August and want to be as healthy as possible as I welcome it. I am one of the (apparently) rare souls who is estatically looking forward to this birthday.:biggrin:

      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.
