January 2010 bandsters...



Recommended Posts

I am relatively new to this forum. I was banded on January 8th at 6AM. I went to the doctor two weeks ago and had lost 95 pounds ( its closer to 102 now). I have not had any problems with my band and hope things continue to go well.

Pre-OP weight: 348

Surgery Day Weight: 324

Current Weight: 246

I have made a lot of progress and feel like my hard work in the gym is really paying off. I hope things are going well for everydoby.:smile2:

WOW! That's AWESOME!! :smile:

Hi Claricey,

I think you need to set goals in increments if that will work better for you. I originally set a goal of 50 pounds then I added another goal of a additional 7 pounds which would give me a few pounds to play with if I went on vacation or something else. I wanted to be realistic and didn't want to put any pressure on myself so I felt like a failure. It took us a long time to put the weight on and will take time to take it off. Good luck

      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.
