What a day! I hit 50lbs gone from my highest weight :biggrin: . I walked my second 5k and took 3 mn off my time(so not a big deal but to me huge). Then had my first (hopefully only) sliming episode :biggrin:. To my amazement i kept holding on to that piece of egg roll as if i would be able to eat it after i stopped feeling like i had a burning ball of fire in my chest, how sick am i? I know i ate too fast and took too big a bite (take human bites!). I'm happy this fill i got last thursday is working , but the reminder of the band being there doing its job was intense. Lesson learned i hope.

Congrats on the 50! not so much on the slime LOL

I'm anxious to hit my first 50, myself. I stalled out for a few weeks (moving to mushies and solids) but am back on track. I need to lose .8 to match my ticker (refuse to adjust it up! LOL) which I'm working on now, then on down the road! YAY!

Do you feel me back here behind you? LOL :biggrin:

Congrats!!! 50 pounds feels so incredible doesn't it? The band is a wild ride, sounds like you are taking it all in stride, the benefits are so worth the sliming, PBing and other crazy things that happen. Keep up the great work!!

Congratulations!! 50 pounds lost is fabulous, and doing a 5 k is equally great! Yeah, you!!!

As for learning about PB'ing...well, it is a painful lesson (one which in my experience we have to learn more than once).

You have a great attitude; keep it up!!

      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.
