WOW, cant believe a whole month has gone by since I got my new friend. Its been a great trip so far. And somewhere along the way, 48 lbs were left behind...LOL:whoo::whoo:

I truly can say that any cravings for soda's, and fast food are gone, since I stopped them one month pre-op, just to get ready. Thanks to everyone on here for all of the support and kind words. It really made the first month much easier knowing I was not the only one going thru this:welldoneclap::rose:

Congrats Dave- you are doing great! Keep up the good work-My one month is on wednesday- I am right behind you at 35lbs- aren't you glad you did this? i know I am:)

Stacy, Thanks and congrats to you on the 35 lbs. My new way of looking at weight loss is to go to the grocery store and look at 5lb bags of potatoes and add up how many I have lost. I know its not the same, but it eally keeps my spirit up. Yes, this is the best thing I have done for myself. I get my first fill in 15 days and cant wait. Maybe I am diffrent, but I have not felt hungry once, even with the small diet I have been eating. Thank god for protein shakes...LOL

Keep it up, Take Care....Dave

My hunger comes and goes- this week not much hunger-I agree it is amazing how much just 5 pounds is! I get my fill on the 18th- I just am taking it one day at a time- you are lucky you have no hunger yet- hopefully it will stay that way- I guess that is the point of why we chose lap band-keep up the good work!!
