Hello All, My name is Beth. I'm new to this site and am currently on a 6-mo. doctor monitored wt.-loss program that my insurance requires. I'm in the 3rd month now. I'm doing okay, but wasn't doing so well the first two months. 1200 calories is a lot less than I'm accustomed to. I didn't exercise much the first two months and also didn't lose much weight. But now I'm getting on my treadmill every day. I'm also keeping a food journal now. I look forward to reading your posts.

Hi Beth, and welcome. Keeping a food journal definitely helped. I resisted it for almost a year and a half. But, I finally started tracking and was amazed at some of things I thought were healthy and low calorie and really weren't.

Keep us posted on how things are going and let us know if you have any questions.

Hi there! I'm starting my 3rd month of physician weight loss. LA Weightloss taught me about keeping a journal, and it really helps. I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't gained any!! I'm picking up my excercise, and hope that will help!

Good luck!

Hi Molly, Thanks for the post. I know it's difficult to stick with a diet plan but we have to do it don't we...lol. I just made an awesome frozen strawberry smoothie that only has 70 calories and 0 fat. It was just what I needed to get me through the rest of the afternoon. Good luck and keep posting! Beth

I'm A 32 Year Old Girl From Nh And This Is The Second Day Here On The Site. I've Been Reading Up On Lap Band For A Couple Of Years Now. My Biggest Hurdle Is Financial. I Would Like To Find Out If Any One In The Nh Area Knows Anything About Where You Can Get Fills Done If You Did Not Get Your Lap Band Local. Thank You.

      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.
