Hey Everyone, How are things going? I don't think I am going to make my birthday goal. I need to loose 13.7lbs in 3 weeks and I just don't think I can:sad:. I do go for a fill on Thursday and hopefully that will get things going again. I missed an appointment for a fill at the beginning of the month and that was a big mistake for me. I can't eat a lot at once, but I am hungry about every 2.5-3 hour:thumbdown:.

Keep up the good work everyone!!!

Well, it certainly looks like I'll make it to the 170s this month, which is great! My weight loss has been SO SLOW because of all of the working out I've been doing. I know that muscle weighs more than fat, and I'm losing inches though, so I'm trying to keep it all in perspective!

How is everyone else doing?

catherine, happy to aee you doing so well. my b-day is tomorrow and im happy to report that ive not only met my goal of 175 but have exceeded it and im down to 174. this alos takes me out of the obese category and makes me merely overweight, (lol) but this is the smallest ive been in 10 years so im very excited. i fel great. i had a fill on jine 1s and ireally think im at my sweet spot. ive got a fill scheduled next week and unless i get a dramatic change in restriction im probably gonna cancel it.

ladies we seem to all be trying really hard. so give yourself a reward.( non food of course) i went out and bought myself a really sexy dress to wear out on my b-bay. i cant wait

I finally lost another 2.5 lbs. this week. This is the first time if lost anything in about a month. I still need to lose 10lbs to make my birthday goal, so I guess it's not going to happen. I know that the weightloss is going slow because I've had a few set backs. My husband and I neither one are working right now so I haven't had the money to get a fill in about 2 months. Maybe I'll get some birthday money, because not losing with the band is really depressing. Thanks for listening, and congrats to those who are doing well.

Hi Birthday Buddies,

Just an update. I have finally started losing again. I have lost 4 or 5 lbs. in the last 5 day. I know I will probably not make my birthday goal, but I really glad to be losing again. How is everyone else doing?

      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.
