Holy Cow I lost 22 pounds in 6 weeks! :)



Recommended Posts

I went in yesterday 12/30 for my second fill.

I got 1.5cc's added to me.

I originally started this journey in August weighing 478 pounds.

I weights 452 on Surgery day of 10/15.

Post surgery I weighed 437

Then for my first fill weighed 432 11/18.

Now 6 weeks later, and getting my second fill I now weigh 410!!!! 68 pounds I've lost.

Honestly, I haven't weight that little since 2004. It's just utterly mindblowing... I lifted a 70 pound bag of Ice Melt last night, and just walked around with it.

I am just amazed with my success, and just an in utter awe..

Thank you everyone for your support, and I hope as this new year comes in we all continue to see great success!!!

CONGRATS!!!

And this was during the holidays. Keep up the good work and don't get complacent. The lapband isn't doing the work. YOU are working hard and the lapband is just along to help.

What type of menue do you have and what are you doing for exercise?

Really all I have cut out is Breads and Rice, and Fast food.

Instead of eating 3 plates of dinner I'm down to a small portion, about a 3/4 - 1 cup worths.

As for Exercise, I walk at work about 15 minutes M-F, and trying to be active as much as possible but Ice and Snow has been slowing me down a ton. (Usually walk outside)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
