I'm one week shy of my 9-month bandiversary, and this morning the scale dropped below 200! YAY!! Haven't been here in years and it feels amazing!

Thanks to everyone here for all your posts--reading this site has motivated me every single day since the very beginning when I was just thinking about getting banded. This surgery has changed my life, and I am so grateful!

Hi Eileen--sorry for not replying sooner, I just now saw your post. Not sure how I missed it earlier.

First off, congratulations on your success so far! You're doing great!

I am definitely at my sweet spot. I had 4 fills, then was too tight, had to get completely unfilled, and have now built back up and am right where I need to be. Having proper restriction has really been the key.

In regards to the binge eating--this is something I have struggled with all of my life. I know everyone is different, and what works for some might not work for others, but I found a lot of relief, support, and guidance by attending Overeaters Anonymous meetings. I started going before I was banded, and it helped me tremendously. Something to consider.

Feel free to send me a private message anytime if you want to chat. And keep up the great work!!

      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.
