Disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!

True results in Houston, Tx 9,900 and they do financing. -
I have been on the pre-op diet for 3 weeks and only lost 10 lbs is this normal or should I be losing more? My advocate told me I needed to lose 10 lbs prior surgery or the Dr. want do the surgery and I have done that but I was hoping for more. I am on the border and hoping I can go down more and not up, which would delay my surgery.

Does Stress Cause The Band To Tighten
ready4changein2011 replied to carolde's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Sorry that you have been experiencing this problem. Hope things get better for you. This is a very interesting topic, not banded yet but this is good too know. I experience stress daily in my home and on my job. I feel like I just can't get a break from stress. Am i gonna have these problems also once banded? Should I be worried? -

Well Isnt That Just Plain Depressing ? Total Set Back Will Keep Pushing On
ready4changein2011 replied to mandyMO's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I have thought about excess skin, but its not a priority I rather be small and fit and worry about the skin later. Plastic surgey is a thought if you have a lot of skin other than that you have done well with your weight loss embrace and enjoy it When I lost 80 lbs I had excess skin but it was not bad because i worked out daily and hour and a half and it really helped. Once banded I plan to do the same, doing about 30-40 minutes a day now pre-band trying to increase by 10 min each week. Goodluck keep up the good work u have done GREAT!!! -
Welcome and congrats, I'm nervous and excited too so you're not alone. Will be banded Mar 2. This site has a lot of great info available, utilize it. Goodluck to you on your journey to a newer you.

Does This Really Work
ready4changein2011 replied to newme2012's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm scheduled scheduled in March and i'm an RN. I chose to had lapband because its less invasive and has less complications. I know people with bypass and yes they have lost the weight but have also gained it back. In the long run I rather have something reversible than something permanently done to my body. What happens if you get sick once your stomach is rerouted or cut out there is no fix for that. My friend had the sleeve she went from over 250 lb to 110 lb in 3 months she stayed in the hospital and almost died. She told me she wish she knew about the band, she thinks she would have preferred it over the sleeve. But she did not know about the band and the Dr said with her bp uncontrollable she was going to die. As of today she can hardly eat and vomits al the time, has weakness she cant even work. So the decision is actually up to you, this is your life nothing is a guarantee. Goodluck on your decision. -
How do u know whose on your side? Been on pre-op diet since 1/16 yet everyday my husband offers me food/sweets all day knowing I can't have it. Anyone else going through this? This is starting to upset me, its hard enough to not be able too eat. Beginning to think he does it on purpose. Getting discouraged.

Started Pre-Op Liquid Diet Today.. Pretty Sure I'm Dying!
ready4changein2011 replied to rae.holmes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I thought I had it bad with 2 proteins shakes, and for dinner 6-8 oz of lean protein, 1 cup of veggies (green) and a fruit and I'm truly starving. But I can't imagine what you all are going through with just liquids. Good luck and stay at it, worth it in the end. -

Pre-Op Diet Day Two
ready4changein2011 commented on sweetsoutherngirl's blog entry in sweetsoutherngirl's Blog
Congrats, I have been on it 2 weeks with no surgery date yet and I have been starving. Part of mine problem is that I work 12 hours and walk all day, shakes not holding. Its getting better since I called clinic to inform them, so I try to have sugar free puddings or jello or something with low carb/cal/fat on days I work. I am getting plenty of water in though. Wht shakes are u using? How much weight they say you need to lose? Srry for your lost my prayers are with you. -

At 249.0 down about 6 + ounces, but still doing okay on the pre-op diet. Nuclear heart scan (stress test) went well yesterday, Dr says I'm all ready for surgery and my heart looks great, should have no clotting issues. I'm going for 5 lbs this week, increasing my exercise and drinking more water.
