I'm down to 226 from 231!!! Woot woot!!! I went for my 1st post-op follow up appt. last week, and my doc released me for walking. WAHOOOOO!!!! I never thought I'd be so excited about that!! :thumbup:

They also told me to increase my calorie intake to at least 800. I was only getting 300-400 a day (if I was lucky), and while it wasn't intentional, it was stalling my weight loss. Plus, I've actually found a Protein shake that doesn't make me gag. So...

protein + increased calories + more weight loss even before 1st fill + ability to exercise = 1 happy camper!!!!!

Hey everyone you are doing great. I signed up but can't find the chart. (Was it a different Easter Challenge?) Any way, I only get on the scales when I go to the Doctor. I am down 3 pounds. Who Hoo!!!

Sounds like most everyone is doing great. Sorry for the Alien erosion.

If anyone can tell me where to find the chart I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Hello all!

My weight loss has been stalled for awhile now and I am highly motivated by challenges. I wanted to see if anyone wanted to join me in losing weight by Easter. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. :scared2: I'm currently at 221-223 depending on the day. It would be awesome to be in "Onederland." Easter is on 4/4/10 and I am eager to meet my goal.

I'd love to have you all join in. Anyone with me? :)

I'd love to join in on this challenge. It's always good for motivation. With Easter a mere month away I am sorta of on the late train here but count me in. My goal is 7 pounds. I am currently at 192 (per my doc and home scale...had an appointment yesterday) I would love to be at 185 by Easter.

I kind of stopped trying to do the easter challenge because I lost my band but now almost 2 weeks after my surgery I finally stepped on my scale and I actually lost weight 3 kg! that means I am half way to my easter weight loss goal of losing 8 kg by easter :(

I am down to 154, I lost 3 pounds this week but I had been too tight for 10 days and could hardly eat! (not recommended, too much pain for 1 extra pound)

Hey Guys! It has been one heck of a week. I did lose 3 lbs this week and I'm thrilled with that!! BUT... I also found out that I have Diverticulitis. It's a digestion disease, so needless to say, not eating anything solid definitely attributed to the 3 lb weight loss. I hope it's easier to lose the weight next week, but I'll take it as it comes!

Hi All,

This is my first challenge since I was only banded in Jan. I am revising my goal since I already met my original goal!! I under estimated the effectiveness of this tool. I have no idea how much I can lose by Easter, but I can't wait to find out.

Hi Leigh, Or others with similar situation..

Could you explain how you were hurting. I've been hurting since by last fill on Tuesday..talked to the nurse twice..I'm four hours away from my doctor. Did you land up getting a bit unfilled..? Or was it swelling that subsided?? Thanks for your help..I'm pretty concerned.

Thanks POPPYRED

I waited 10 days, everything I ate was getting stuck, plus it took me an hour to finish a Protein Shake, I was only able to get 500 calories a day max. Then it started to get worse (due to swelling and throwing up) and on the day before my unfil I could barely Drink 2 Protein Shakes. I live 2 hours from my dr as well. So I finally went back and she took out .3 and I felt much better. The fill that caused the problem was .7, I am a little loose now but a little loose is way better than a little tight. On the day of my unfill I forced down a shake, it took about an hour and then I drove to Dallas, (2 hours), then waited for 30 min (I was early) and still my stomach was just gurgling continuously. When she took out the Fluid, she told me to stand up so I could drink some Water and I felt the Protein shake leave my stomach, that was 11:30 and I had finished it at 8. So if a protein shake stays in your stomach for 3.5 hours that is too tight. I gurgled non stop during this time, I always gurgle some but my husband couldn't sleep because when I laid down my stomach made so much noise. I hope this helps..

      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.
