I was actually banded March 24th 2008 in Roanoke, VA. It has been a great year. I have about 30 - 40 pounds more to lose. 5 more pounds and I will no longer be obese!!!!!

Follow the rules and exercise and you will do great.

Take Care,

Lori

Hi Jujvee; This march 24th banster is doing ok, though the last couple of weeks I haven't lost any and I am pretty sure it's something I am doing or not doing, so I am a little frustrated. Congradulation on loosing so much so far. I am down 42lbs since surgery, wish it was a little more, but I've got to be happy with my progress so far. Do you have any special receipes or things you do to keep on track? Keep in touch.

Jdelaera actually we are close on weight loss, I lost 30 pre op.

I haven't weighed in a couple weeks I wanted to break my addiction to the scale, it's so liberating. I am so close to getting out of the 3's that I can't wait to see a weight in the 2's.

I love to cook send me your email in a private message and I will send you some recipes.

It's almost our 1 year... how is everyone doing..

I have good days and bad days but no matter what I keep going and never give up... I'm training for my first half marathon and that has continued to hold me accountable on exercise. I've just had the one fill and that seems to be fine for now.. I actually like that I have restriction but not so much that I can't eat breads and Pasta. I still have smaller portions.

I can't believe that I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel....

Congratulations on your weight loss, I was banded on 3/16/09, but have lost all my 3/16 band buddies. Can't believe that it has almost been a year. I am so happy to be where I am today the things now that come so easily like crossing your legs, sitting on my foot in my chair at work. Things that were such a problem a year ago are gone. I love being banded.

Keep up the great work!

Its crazy that its almost a year!!! Congrats to u two on your great success! I am very happy that I got it done! New Beginnings, its a great feeling to do those things that we could not do a year ago. So far I have been doing very well with the band. I haven't had a fill done, but as long I am still losing the weight thats all that counts. Good luck to you both on ur weight loss journey. :)

      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.
