Hi I was a March bander. But really had a hard time losing the weight and really really hard time. I believe I am just starting the shed the pounds off. I started at 223 when I first go the band, and got down to 195 I couldn't go any lower. So tried a few different methods trainer, gym membership. But couldn't grasp on the new diet and exercise plan until this year when I found a great personal trainer who works with me and gives me great fat burning pills and a detailed food day by day of what I should be eating. I have fell off of it a couple of times but is now making a great progress in April 2009 I weighed in at 215 and now August 2009 I weigh in at 200 pds. Now I am at a point where I can't get pass this 199 -200 mark. But I have noticed I cheat alot more often more of an emotional eater or from being bored so now I am trying to keep myself busy. Not sitting at my desk all day. I am 24 work at a home based business with my family so i live and work in the same place so that had advantages and a whole bunch of disadvantages. So now when i get bored im going to either go was a walk, call a family member or a friend, and start back crocheting.

Hi there,

I was banded in March 2006 by Dr. Sanchez (R.I.P.). Pre opp weight 238. Lowest post opp, 147. I'm currently up to 200 pounds again :(. My band is tight, but I have a few behaviors to make adjustments to and to get back on track. Good to see that there is a group to speak to.

      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.
