Wow! Congrats to you all!

I hadn't really thought about my bandaversary this year except that I'm going back to my trainer to have new measurements done...that will be fun for a change!

NEXT year, I'm planning to go to Hawaii to Celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary...in late September...so that is my big goal.

I love to hear what you all are doing! (maybe I'll get glamour shots done for dh's Christmas present...hmmm...)

We have the same bandiversary date!!!

I am getting my band re-filled on 10/6! That's my celebration. :scared2: I was way too tight on 9/18 and had to have my liquid removed...emergency trip to the ER. Stress at work and upcoming flight out of town made my Dr. decide to remove all restriction.

You are doing so great!!! Congratulations!

I'm pretty proud of my 65 lbs, too. I feel great. I just bought 2 pair of SIZE 14 jeans at lunch today! That was an awesome experience!

Well DH bought me an hour long massage with hot stone therapy in June for my birthday and I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I think I will for my Bandiversary.

My bandaversary was Oct. 8th. I didn't do anything except make me a 'progress' picture. I've lost 70 pounds.

I need to decide what my next goal is and get motivated to get the rest of this weight off!

It truly has been a remarkable year and I'm so glad I made the decision to get this band! I went to the seminar to encourage my husband and ended up signing up too! :sad:

It's been great having someone to go through this with me.

It's been a wonderful experience. My overall health is so much better than it has been for many years. Somehow I have trouble believing that I am a senior citizen because I feel so healthy. I am wearing the same size clothes my 36 year old daughter wears.

Yet, there is a small voice in the back of my head saying "Will this last or be like the other times you have lost weight and regrettably found it again"? I hope it will last. I think it will last. I know it will last!

      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.
