Just wanted to share because I am so excited. It's been about 3 1/2 months since my surgery and I hit 100 pounds on Tuesday! I feel great. I exercise 3 or 4 times a week and it's just nice to have the energy to do things with my children again.

I remember being super excited and super nervous and I am so glad everything worked out for me so I could have this surgery because it really has given me my life back and oh yea I'm finally starting to feel good about the way I look again. I have a pretty high self-esteem anyway so anybody who knows me well jokes with me about what this will do for my self-esteem. This is the only aspect of my life I felt I had little control over and I am finally glad to be in control of everything about me.

I try to eat healthy...sometimes that doesn't always happen, but there is not anything specific...maybe lots of chicken and fish but other than that I just make sure I get my Protein in for the day however that may be.

See that seems a bit fishy, I don't know about anyone else but I have NEVER heard of anyone with the lap band loosing that much - gastric bypass yes but not the lap band and if that is true are you even really eating?

Congrades, how much more do you need to lose to reach goal?

I read somewhere else that she started over 400 pounds, and I've actually seen quite a few people who lost 100 pounds in 4 months on this board. When you weigh that much, it goes fast at first.

Yes that does seem excessive, even for someone that size but obviously they're doing something right. I just hope I can see big results in the first few months. I'm about a 1 1/2 weeks post op and things are moving relatively slow even though my calorie intake is minimal and I excercise nearly every day a week for more than an hour. I'm thinking that one day soon, I'm going to wake up, jump on the scale and see a huge difference. I just hope it happens soon because I'm certainly working hard enough.

      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.
