I believe I had lost @ 20 lbs the first two months. I was banded on the 29th of August, 08. I have now lost 43 lbs. It doesn't sound like much, but I went from 230 to 187 which was a size 20 down to a size 12 as of yesterday. I feel great and I consider it all a work in progress. I still have work to do with @ 40 more lbs to go.

I lost 32 pounds pre-op and until this week had not lost another ounce. Surgery was February 10. But I've lost 3 pounds this week. But I was told that the first 3-4 weeks after surgery you shouldn't even expect any weight loss because you are healing, drinking and then eating really weird stuff that wasn't necessarily things you'd be eating once you transitioned to "regular diet." I probably would have lost more but last week, I was on a cruise and I was happy to just not gain anything. I have a personal short-term goal to lose 17 more pounds by June 12 (my 40th high school reunion is on June 12-13). Maybe unreasonable. Maybe not. But HERE GOES!

      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.
