My story is this... I started working out regularly back in October, in preparation for surgery, but I wasn't losing any weight. In March, my GP prescribed an appetite suppressant - Phentermine to help me drop some weight before my surgery. It worked well - I lost 40 pounds before surgery. I had the surgery on May 29th. I kept taking a diminishing dose of the Phentermine until my first fill in early July the weaned off that drug. I've continued to exercise with a goal of 7 hours a week and my band helps a lot with appetite and how much I eat. So since surgery, it's another 36 pounds. I saw my doc & we decided not to put more in the band - I'm still at 2.4ccs and that is fine. I'm losing at a good rate - about 10 pounds a month.
I stick to whole foods; I'm pretty low-carb. I have nuts most days for breakfast. I eat grapefruit, cheese, eggs, olives, edamame, etc. for lunch. I have dinner with my family, whatever they're having.

momsthecoach2 replied to cinhard's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on Aug. 26th Can't wait to be able to eat even the mushies...I think the 10 day clear liquid diet for pre-op and now these 2 weeks of liquid are a bit long...but we did this to ourselves and now this is our chance to fix it and be healthy. Good Luck fellow August Bandsters...:biggrin: -
Anyone else Sick of liquids already?
momsthecoach2 replied to mems's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes me also as well as 99 % of the people that have gone through it I would say. I had 10 days of clear liquids then banded then 1 day clear liquids and now am doing 2 weeks of liquids. Blended soups, V8 things like that...I just want some real food :-) But that is part of our sacrifice for a better healthy life...so I would say well worth it we just gotta get through it and soon enough it will be over.:biggrin: -
Wow Linda you look great...and great weight loss in a short period. I started out at 293 and was banded on Aug. 26th...so far lost 23 but most of that was pre-op. What have you been doing that has given you such success? If you don't mind me asking. Thanks a bunch
