I want to get in on this challenge too! I really need it.

I was banded on 10/08.....have lost 24 pounds to date and need something to motivate me. This is just the thing.

Lots of fellow banders to keep me accountable! :)

My goal is 12 pounds. I plan to reach this goal by exercising and staying away from those sweets that go down so easy!

Much success to everyone. Together we can do it! :tongue_smilie:

OK, first post and I'm in.

I was banded on June 9, 2008 at 362lbs maximum. Last time I weighed in was December 23 at 280lbs.

I'll go for 250lbs - or 30 lbs by Valentines day. It's aggressive, but I think I could pull it off if I add exercise to my day from now on.

Looking forward to reporting back.

Oh, BTW, the picture is at 60lbs down. I'll update on Valentines day.

Well, I have been doing 15-20lbs a month, so a challenge is to hit 30 in about 6 weeks.

Excercise, no alcohol (the holidays) and no treats - I should be able to achieve it or close to it.

I also have a fill on Feb 5

Good luck

Good to hear from everyone. It sounds like this is hitting home at a good time for everyone. I'm pulling for each and everyone to achieve their goal. Whether it's 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 pounds that Soon to be thin to targeting, all will be for our health. Fat will be a thing of our past.

I had a bad weekend because for some reason, I ate what seemed like to be more than my 3 oz. each meal. I didn't get full. I have my first fill on 1/25 so hopefully that will take care of not feeling full. It will also be good to get back to a exercise routine tomorrow. Since christmas I haven't walked at all and I irritated at myself for letting me get lazy.

So for me this will get me back into the routine of losing.

      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.
