I will be banded on December 27th. Is 15lbs a reasonable goal for Valentine's Day? I'm truly hoping it's more but don't want to set myself up for disappointment.

OHM, you know I lost 11 Lbs. in my first week of banding so I don't think its too far off. I just put myself at losing the minimum one pound per week. If its more then great! But I should really work to lose at least that much.

Congrats on your upcoming banding decision and Best of Luck!

Hi LMD!

I'm in! I was banded on 10/28 and figure I'm gonna need some motivation after the first of the year.

I'll post my weight and goal tomorrow. I forget to get on the scale this am.

OHM - 15lbs is totally reasonable for 2/15. I bet you beat that goal!

I don't playing by myself. ;o)

I'm going to change my goal every week to make sure I'm losing a pound per week. I did pretty good last week, keeping up with the workouts. Am I finally out of my rut? I think so!!

I'll take that challenge as well. I figure by Febraury 14th, @ 1 lb per week I should be able to loose another 7 lbs to put me down to 185.

We can do this:thumbup:

I'm really going to try hard to lose 2 pounds a week and go for losing 14 by Valentines day. That would put me at 193...a number I haven't seen in a very long time!

      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.
