Way to go!!! I too am a "slow-loser". It's hard and I get impatient, but it's so worth it!

I think we slow-losers should consider ourself to be in the average category, not "slow" losers. Some people just lose really fast. I really do think we are the norm--I think the stats say bandsters lose only 60% of their weight in the first 2 years...

Congrats! I hit my 1 tr. banded 7/23 and i must say i am nervous about it. My insurance only pays for me to see my surgeon for one yr. so after that there wont be any every month visits and check-ups. i feel like I'm going to be on my own. i would love to lose another 38 lbs to hit my final goal, so we both have about the same amount to lose. good luck and you should be so proud of yourself.

      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.
