Sounds like an excellent plan. But really 6 lbs in 6 wks is still within the 1-2 lbs a week rule. It's good that you can see where you can make improvements. My best to you!

This is hard to answer without knowing where you are on your journey. My first week I was so bloated and swollen from the surgery & hernia repair that I thought I would bust. Just sipping water kept me full. Now I'm two weeks out, I can drink as much as I want and I do get hungry, but the recommended diet I'm on works well for me. We'll see how it goes after meat and other foods are added back, might need a few fills. Best wishes!

I only told the people I knew I could count on to support me. I didn't want to hear any negative crap from people that had no clue what is involved with having the band. As I lose weight, if anyone ask how, I will probably tell them.

Magilla Welcome to the forum! 27 lbs is a good amount to lose. When was your surgery? I was banded Oct 15. You will find a lot of support, knowledge and inspiration here. Best wishes on your journey!

you know I am! Banded b*****s Unite!!!! Must protect the princess(mostly from herself).

Thank you AJ. Please don't ever leave us b/c of what others do. Yes, I was corrected accepting and not excepting. I knew It didn't look right,but I thought what the heck. Some people have such low self esteem problems that they try to make themselves look better and in the long run, they make themselves look like pompous asses. That's their problem!

That has to be one of the best NSV's I've ever heard! I love your no room for failure attitude. You're going all the way baby!

I too am very sorry for your families loss. You have faced a lot of challenges these last few weeks and have done very well. You have been on here daily encouraging others and all the time facing a terrible pain in your own heart. I know your husband needs you right now, just as much as you need him and I hope you're together soon. I pray that God will give you peace in this difficult time!

Well coo love a duck, Tex is a bloody limey! Maybe we're related??

I have been dieting for months now, so the full liquid phase doesn't really bother me, thank goodness!Just can't wait to eat kinda normal. I hate fixing dinner for hub and then make something for myself. Oh,your band is a guy,hmm? Gotta name? I'll be your momma bear. Whenever anyone messes with you, just come and find me. I saw on your status about the 50 lbs. That is awesome, so proud of my cubbies!

BB was causing trouble on another thread. She thought maybe we wouldn't want her in our club. I told her I was proud of her!

Oh my beautiful Yellow Rose is here! I will always protect you my little cute fuzzy cub!

I'm still on full liquids until Nov. 16 but ya, 3-4oz protein eat first, 3-4 oz veggies 3oz carbs I only get 20 mins to eat and if its nots done. Too bad! As long as your Dr says caffiene is ok, it's ok. I think at first it was just to keep you from dehydrating. I don't drink caffiene , I drink Chai tea and I love water lol. I was having a problem after banding b/c I was drinking to much at once. I'm always thirsty!

Hey, if PPPB gets to make herself princess just because. I should be Queen Mother, the older,wise assier! Yes, I think Charming Queen Mother b***h, CQMB for short. All those in favor, I. I's have it!
-
Since I'm the oldest one in the club, I feel the need to protect my peeps. I call it "My mother bear syndrome". It can get ugly!

Told you don't mess with my girls!

Am I The Only Fluffy Girl From The North?
Maddysgram replied to Banjo257's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Already separating the north from the south??? I see how you are. BBB -
When were you banded? Your profile says Nov 16, 2012. Just to cure your curiosity : after surgery 3 days clear 30 days full liquid Like Mayasgram said, you'll find people all over the place with the Drs rules.She is one you want to mimic, look at her stats. Def following my Drs. rules b/c I want this so bad! Best wishes on your journey!

Hello...another Newbie
Maddysgram replied to nitharaye's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
No, that gets you points in the club. Now I'm going to have to look for what my BBB did, I'm so proud! Hope you didn't mess with the princess! -
Mine is like this other than I use fat free refried beans instead of enchilada sauce and I usually use ground turkey and 1 cup of chopped onion. I cook mine on top of stove. Since I'm on the blended veggies & soup, I skipped the corn & meat this time.That brought the calories to 120 per cup Still very good!

Welcome Shanitha! You've come to the right place to soak up knowledge. I'm glad you're doing that. The more you learn before surgery, the easier it will be to understand after surgery. You'll also find a lot of inspiration and some good old joking around. Post often and ask questions. Best wishes on your journey! -
Glad to hear! Take care!
