I did ok - I ate small quantities thats the beauty of this thing though my cals were still full of fat and such. I was also due for a fill so I did get a couple of days of actually getting up to 2000 cals but I ate some junk. Anyway cost me 3 lbs then I went to Dr for the fill and she went more aggressive cuz all I lost was 2 lbs in the month. Now the weight is dropping like a stone mainly because I am a bit overfilled but doing better now. Able to hold down mushies finally after 4 days... Up to yesterday I was mainly on liquids (3 days).

Hi Ladies - I have lost 7.2 so far, with 7.8 to go for my goal of 194! Thanks to a pretty major level of restriction, I might just make it.

Hope everyone is slaying those pounds!

Woot!!! This morning I met my goal!!! I'm now 75 pounds down total!!! I can't believe I lost weight over the holiday...I ate and drank everything I wanted (a tiny bit of the bad stuff mind you, but even a cookie or two a day and plenty of alcohol). I love my band! Just 6 more pounds and I'll be 'NORMAL'!!! Thanks for the Challenge!

WOW!!! How did you do that? Are you exercising a lot? I noticed this week that I am not working I was able to lose 4 lbs in a week! Due to the increase in activity! But I started getting fatigued so I upped my calories. ANyway that is AWESOME!!!

Actually, I don't exercise nearly as much as I should be. That's one of my new year's resolutions- to make it to the gym at least 6 days a week! Mostly I am just careful with what I eat, I follow the "rules" exactly. I follow a low-carb diet and I think that helps the most. :)

      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.
