Heya!!! Just wanted to do a pop in to see how everyone is going with their weightloss (I'm hoping I'm keeping up with some of you as I have been struggling!!! haha), but this morning, I stood on my dodgy scales and I have FINALLY reached my first mini-goal of 20kgs!!! YAY!! I am actually starting to get excited now because I am starting to visibly notice a difference and I love it :) My Starting weight was 144kgs(316.8) My current weight is now 124kgs(272.8lb)!! (I have added some recent pics in my photo album).

How are you all doing?? Have you lost as much weight as you had hoped?? Would love to hear from you all! :D

44 lbs thats great:thumbup:. I was banded 5 days after you. I love my band. I just posted a thread under the May 2009 bandsters forum about our 6 month bandiversary this month asking how everyone was doing since it has been 6 months since we were all banded. I have lost as of today 57lbs so i am very happy if i could be down 60lbs by my bandiversary which is the 12 i will be half way to my goal (which i hope to reach by my one year bandiversary). I still feel like it is to good to be true like i am going to wake up one day and be 57lbs heavier again. Keep up the good work

I'm not a May bander but I wanted to say congrats to both of you on the weight loss. I hope I can say the same when I reach my 6 month anniversary. Both of you have encouraged me. Thanks.

Hello and thanks for checking in. I am just getting over the 40 pounds mark and feel good. I am not lossing quite as fast I had hoped because I continue to struggle with the diet part of things. Exercise-wise, I have just started to get into the beginning stages of some running, in addition to lots of walking, and that is something I never thought in my life I would be able to do!! :thumbup:

      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.
