Hello all,

I had my lap band surgery done on June 16, 2008 and a port revision done November 19,2008.

I started at 226 lbs and now weigh 195. The majority of the weight came off before the surgery during my two week liquid diet.

I would like to hit 135 as a high goal weight, but at this point I am focusing on breaking through 190.

I have refocused and started tracking my foods more carefully and really trying to be more accountable.

I have my 4th fill this month on the 22nd - hopefully that will get me just right.

Anyways, just wanted to share and introduce myself :)

Hi Babbs! I'm new here, too. Since I have less than 100 lbs to lose now, I thought I'd pop in here.

It's so great to be able to share information with others that are going through the same things! I have learned a lot by reading the threads on this site.

Regarding your slow loss... I too lose slow and sometimes am jealous reading about how much weight some people lose in such a short period of time. I was banded in April of 2008 and finally reached ONEderland this morning. EXACLY one and a half years later. I'm glad I'm not the only one who loses slow! :wink2:

      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.
