I had my first weigh in after being banded on 12/18. I lost 9 pounds but now I started the mushy stage and am afraid I will gain. I haven't been really hungry, but he though of cottage cheese is pretty appealing!(How sick is that??) Hang in there Karri, it will come off!

Surgeries The Week Of December 17
aimee replied to nhlapband's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a general question. I was banded on the 18th and it seemed to go fine but..I lost 5 pounds since my banding wbich I would normally be thrilled with, but then I read about people losing 16 lbs or more like a week after! Is this possible? Do people include their pre op diet weight loss on their tickers? Instead of being excited I look at others huge losses ad I feel like I'll never get there! Aimee -
Surgeries The Week Of December 17

Hi Aimee, It went well I think! I'm not having any pain, so I never used the morphine pump or liquid percacet. I have a really bad headache since I got banded and tylenol hasn't really helped. Can't wait for tomorrow when I can have protein drinks. Maybe this will help the headache??? How are you doing? Aimee -
Surgeries The Week Of December 17

The 18th for me! No diet, just no food or liquids after midnight! Too busy to think about it! Maybe tonight. Aimee -
I'm getting banded in one week. I just called and they said they are not really using the new band yet, but maybe I can ask at my preop tomorrow. I don't want to wait, what about people with the old band. Is it Ok? Now I'm worried! Help. Aimee

Hi, I'm also getting banded on the 18th. I've been using Whey powder from the Vitamen shoppe. I've used the chocolate and found that its good without being very sweet. I always mix it with skim milk so it's a total of 32grams of protein. Aimee

best way to lose 5% weight before surgery
aimee posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Help! I have 11 pounds to lose before my surgery in December but I've had a really difficult time losing right now. Can I do a liquid protein diet for two weeks prior? Can I just use the protein powder twice a day and one moderate meal or does it have to be something like Medifast? I might have to resort to Atkins, which works but is so bad for me! Thanks Aimee -

In Need of Suggestions in MA!!!
aimee replied to InTears41283's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I am planning to get banded through Lowell General Hospital Weight Management program. It's located in Lowell, MA in the North east of Ma. The fee is $400, $200 in the begining and $200 after approval. The rest, I think will be covered through my insurance. I don't know if they do self pay. Good Luck Aimee -
Hi, I am planning to have the lap band surgery in the very end of December. I have to finish up my "pre-reqs" appts, support groups, and psychologist visit first. I am excited, and love the lists of what to have, but still worry that if I don't get past the crazy part of my eating problems, nothing will work for long. Am also going to a support group for compulsive overeating to cover all of my bases!
