China, hope you are surviving getting back to reality. The last fill i got has really given me some good restriction. I have a hard time even eating in the morning so I just do Protein Shakes. This works for me as I don't have time to stop and eat. I am still waiting for the scale to start dropping again. Rose I hope all is well with you too. Have a great weekend everyone. Laurel

Thanks Laurel for responding.....you were the only ONE! My band hasn't slipped & I am thankful. It was quite sore and I went to my doc. All is well now; didn't have to have an unfill. It was a scare tho. I won't be writing here anymore. Seems some people on this board are just concerned with themselves and their travels, not how people are doing on the lap band. Thanks again!!

Hi all - haven't posted in a while, but I thought you might want to know that things have started moving again -- I think I was stressed out and that's why I couldn't shift even a pound. Now I've been on holiday for a few weeks and I lost 5 lbs... I'm now almost 50lbs down and more importantly am consistently under 200 for the first time in about 8 years!! It's really wonderful! I still have a long journey, but I'm more hopeful. How is everyone doing?

Hi China, I go back to the Dr. on tues. I haven't gotten to the gym but I am off next week and plan on getting there then. I also have an appt. for my knee. It is getting painful and making it harder to push myself at the gym. How did you make out with the

Hello all sorry its been so long since I have been on but life has been very full for me taking care of my Mom and Mother in law. I also have had computer problems so we had to go out and get me a new computer. So I now I forget how to update my tickler so I will give you an update on my weight loss. It is coming off slow but it is coming off. I have no had a fill in over 3 months and from the beginning of my journey starting at 229 I am currently 184 so I am down 45 lbs. I have about 14 lbs to my goal. I hope to accomplish that goal by my birthday in February. I feel so much better physically. No more pain in my feet, back and legs...its amazing what caring all the weight aroun does to us.

Laurel and China I am so glad to hear that you guys are doing well.

I will try and sign on more often.

      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.
