I don't remember exactly what mine holds but I think it was around 10 so I have a ways to go. I've felt restriction since day one though even after swelling went down, it just seems I learn to adjust fairly fast and now just mostly struggle with head hunger.....for some reason I have deeloped a continuous craving for apple pie go figure. I used to throw them away cause they would just get wasted, now I can't wait till the holidays thats my treat LOL welcome to the thread, we don't post a lot but we are here if you need us

Hi to all my fellow Jan 23rd bandsters!!

I just saw that this room has been super quiet lately and figured I would help out!

Weight loss has been really slow for me lately and I have lost like 7 lbs in 4 months. I think some of it is becuase I had to have my gall bladder out and it took me a long while to get back in the gym. Oh well, im back now and trying to work my butt off...literaly.

i have lost a lot and am in a size 12/14 now and everyday I feel a little closer to my dream of becoming a police officer.

Hope everyone is doing great and I hope to hear from everyone!

Sorry you had to deal with the gall bladder during your weight loss but maybe it had a silver lining....stuff like that is an unfortunate part of life and you still lost even if it wasn't as much as u wanted. 12-14 I'd say its time to apply for that dream job!!:tongue_smilie:

I totally agree...Lets see, I've been at goal weight for about 6 months now, I'm suppose to be toning up, which I have to admit is as hard as everyone said it would be at my age and much much harder than I thought. I can't afford plastic surgery so I'm learning to deal with ummm extra skin...Not complaining, I've learned a few tricks with dressing that help a lot. My health has improved so much, loosing the weight has made such a huge change in my life. I find it easy to eat right now....I'm not against the occasional treating (some call cheating) myself but I am very aware of what I eat, when I eat it, and how I eat it. The lb was the perfect tool for me. If I can remember how I'll try n update my pic. I never thought I'd be one that said I got down to a size 4 but I am, and very proud of it

      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.
