not doing so great. banded Jan 16th and only down 30lbs. I am not eating anywhere near what I was eating, and I am drinking the Water and following the rules....I have had 4 fills already and I have 5ccs in my band. I lost 5lbs between my 3rd and 4th fill, which is awesome, but I thought the weight would be coming off faster than this. I cant eat breads or pastas, so I am not stuffing my face with carbs.

I just don't understand why I am so far behind most people who were banded at the same time I was. I am getting very discouraged.

Tara, you're doing great! Some of us just lose slower. I'm a slow loser myself. I've been bouncing the same 2 pounds for the last month. It's frustrating. I know I need a fill but unfortunately my doctor doesn't do them but 6 weeks apart. So, I've only had 2 fills so far. I get my 3rd next week. Can't wait! I can still eat bread and Pasta =(

Don't worry, this is not a race. We will all get there eventually. Are you exercising?

I only go to the gym 3 times a week. I know I should be doing more, but by the time I get home from work I am so dead tired.

      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.
